Gruffalo Adventure

Embark on an exciting Gruffalo-themed adventure by visiting one of the 26 forest sites across England celebrating the 25th anniversary of this beloved children's character. Each trail features five activity panels, as well as sculptures and play areas. Don't forget to pick up an accompanying trail pack for just £4. Find trails at forestryengland.uk/gruffalo-party-trails.

Insect Bug Hunt

Get up close and personal with nature by hunting for real-life mini beasts. Turn over old logs and piles of leaves to spot different worms and bugs. You can even collect them in an old jam jar to study them before releasing them back into their natural habitats.

Leaf Rubbing

Take a leisurely walk in nearby woods or parks armed with crayons and paper. Encourage your child to find leaves and other items to create rubbings. Tree bark and ferns work particularly well for this fun and creative activity.

Nature Scavenger Hunt

Make nature spotting more exciting for kids by organizing a scavenger hunt. Look for signs of spring, such as snowdrops, daffodils, and tree buds. You can create your own scavenger hunt list or use a free printable version available at hobbycraft.co.uk.

Puddle Jumping and Mud Play

Don't let a little drizzle dampen your spirits. Put on some wellies and waterproofs and head out for some puddle jumping fun. Take a bucket and spade along to scoop up mud, water, leaves, and anything else you come across. It's guaranteed to provide hours of entertainment for little ones.
