A heartfelt message to all grown-ups with children

A heartfelt message to all grown-ups with children who have ADHD, special needs, learning difficulties, dispraxia. COME & PLAY @forestcraftandplay

In the @forestcraftandplay tent we too have our own quirky traits 🤣😂 (and Karen was a mental health nurse who worked with adults with special needs). We are confident and kind with all children. This afternoon we spent an amazing hour with a boy in year two who is not enjoying school and says want he thinks! His mum was so happy to come to a space where they could relax and not worry. Look at his amazing crocodile 🐊… no-one else has ever thought to give our crocs eye lids, eye lashes and pupils!! Adding a moustache … also very nice 👌🏽 we think Mr Croc is ready to swish his tail in a swamp he is looking so fine and dandy.

Special needs = superpowers 💥

You are a pirate (@theballoontree in May half term)

Are you fierce & terrible or a clever trickster ?

Either way you will sail the seven seas on your ship the Golden Bounty in search of all the gold. There will be mermaids & sea monsters. Cannon fire & waves 🌊 taller than a house. How will you navigate through all these dangers?

Crafting….. but not as you know it ❤️
