30 Ideas for 30 Days Wild – Outdoor Play with a Toddler
What is 30 Days Wild?
We are going Wild this June! 30 Days Wild is an initiative from the Wildlife Trust which aims to get more of us out into wild spaces and embracing the nature all around us.
The goal is to spend sometime outside going wild every single day for the month of June. Their website is packed with great info and if you sign up you’ll receive a brilliant pack full of inspiration and ideas on how to Go Wild this June.

Today we built a pallet playhouse. And planted flowers. I think that counts for 2 days.

Thanks for this! Currently making a list of 30 days wild activities for my 23 month old. Luckily he would spend all day outdoors if he could, so shouldn’t be too hard!
