Pine Scone Turns 16: A Celebration of Community and Flavor

Join Us at Weymouth Woods for the Free Wednesday Playdate!

Update Bringing Joy to Young Families in Pinehurst Every Wednesday morning, families in Pinehurst come together for a delightful playdate at Weymouth Woods, specially designed for children ages 0-6. This free event, hosted from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM, offers a chance for young ones to explore the beauty of nature while engaging in educational play. It's not just about fun; it's about fostering community connections among parents and caregivers as they watch their little ones learn and grow together. The Benefits of Nature Play Research has shown the importance of outdoor play for early childhood development. Activities in nature can aid in cognitive development, improve motor skills, and inspire imagination. During the Wednesday playdates, kids can engage in activities that spark curiosity and creativity, all set against the serene backdrop of Weymouth Woods. From running through the grass to discovering bugs and plants, each moment is filled with opportunities for exploration. Creating Lasting Community Bonds Beyond the excitement of play, these weekly gatherings provide a platform for parents and caregivers to meet, share experiences, and build friendships. Knowing that other families in the community are experiencing similar joys and challenges can be a comforting experience. As Emily Brooks captures in her stories, the heart of a community often thrives on these social connections, especially for those navigating the joys of parenthood together. What to Expect: Activities and More Participants can look forward to a variety of activities ranging from guided nature walks to interactive games. Each session aims to keep children engaged while introducing them to the natural world. Parents are encouraged to bring picnic blankets and snacks to enjoy after the activities, transforming a simple playdate into a community gathering filled with warmth and laughter.
