The Seashell Garden — Session 2: Mud Kitchen Magic

Welcome to The Seashell Garden 🌱

Calm, nature-based play sessions for babies and toddlers aged 12 months to 4 years at the beautiful NECA Community Garden in South Shields — proud winner of The Queen's Award for Voluntary Service.

Our sessions are small, unhurried and completely child-led. Children explore soil, seeds, shells, pebbles and water alongside their parent or carer in one of South Tyneside's most loved community spaces.

What happens in a session?

Each session follows a gentle nature theme — planting and growing, mud kitchen, seed bombs, leaf printing, water and pebble play and a sunflower celebration to finish the block. Every child takes something home from every session.

What to wear and bring

Clothes you don't mind getting muddy — wellies or sturdy shoes recommended. We provide absolutely everything else.
