How to complete the trail?
To complete our Summer Woodland Trail, journey through the lush woodlands and uncover the intricately crafted miniature homes of our forest friends.
Let your imagination run wild as you piece together the secrets of these woodland inhabitants & discover what they are secretly busying themselves with.
WHO LIVES HERE & WHAT ARE THEY BUSY DOING?
Did you find where all the Woodland animals lived and what they were busy doing? Each animal has favourite colours – did you spot them all?
Colin the Common Frog – Green and Yellow
It’s a special day for this aquatic, fishing fellow.
Look for his camping chair in stripy green and yellow.
Colin as always is relaxing by the water in 5 locations around the Woodland Walk. Did you find them all?
Mollie & Milly, The Harvest Mice – Pink and White
Pink and white team colours for these tiny, furry creatures.
They use their tails to help climb grass – what a unique feature!
Mollie, Millie and the other Mice are busy organising all the party games for Colin’s birthday party.
Wendy the Wren – Brown and blue
Feathers surround a musical home for this tiny well-tuned friend.
A happy birthday song they’re singing with a unique musical blend.
Wendy is busy composing and practising party music for Colin’s birthday party.
Sophie the Squirrel – Grey and Red
This nut-loving animal comes in fur both grey and red.
This one is an expert chef when baking cakes and bread!
Squirrel is an expert chef ad busy creating Colin a Caterpillar Birthday cake.
Hattie the Hedgehog – Purple
Shhh! This spiky slumberer loves to snooze, snore and sleep talk.
There is a story for every animal that lives on woodland walk.
Hattie is the best storyteller. She has been around the woodlands a long time and knows all the animals.
Buster the Badger – Black and White
Black and white striped paint and a collection of wooden tools…
There is a reason this creature is crafting so many little stools.
Badger is in his carpentry workshop busy making picnic stools for Colin’s birthday party.
