Explore the forest this Autumn with Zog and Forestry England

Autumn is a magical time to head into the woods with the family. The leaves are turning golden, crunchy paths are appearing underfoot and there’s a whole world of woodland adventures waiting to be discovered. And who better to join your little explorers than Zog, the brave little dragon who loves nothing more than learning, exploring and having fun?

To help families make the most of this wonderful time of year, Forestry England have released a brilliant collection of new Zog activity sheets, packed with ideas to enjoy both indoors and out. They’re a lovely way to encourage children to get curious about the natural world, while adding a little dragon-sized fun to your Autumn adventures.

And what better season to explore the forest? As the trees put on their spectacular autumn display, little ones can discover a wonderful kaleidoscope of reds, oranges, yellows and browns. There are leaves to collect and compare, acorns and conkers to spot, birds to listen out for and plenty of muddy paths to explore.

There’s plenty of autumn fun to be had with the latest Zog activity sheets, packed with brilliant things to make, do and discover. From practising your very best dragon breath to finding the odd one out and even making your very own helicopter, there’s something to get every little explorer thinking, creating and having fun. Available to download from the Forestry England website, the new activities join six other Zog-inspired activity sheets, giving you a whole collection of ideas to keep little hands busy this half-term.

Before you head off, don’t forget to download the free Zog: A Forest Adventure trail app. Little dragon fans can follow the challenges as they explore, with interactive animations bringing the adventure to life. They can practise their biggest roar, dance with dragons and even transform into Zog themselves!

Haven’t joined in the fun yet? Or perhaps your little dragons loved their first adventure so much that they’re already asking when they can go again? Good news – there’s still plenty of time to spread your wings and set off on a Zog adventure! Zog activity trails can be found in forests throughout the coming months, giving families plenty of opportunities to get outside, explore somewhere new and discover a little bit of dragon magic along the way. It’s a brilliant excuse to swap screens for fresh air and turn an ordinary woodland walk into an exciting family adventure. Before you set off, grab your Zog trail pack, wrap everyone up warm and get those wellies ready for whatever the forest has in store. With challenges, games and activities to enjoy along the way, little ones can stretch their legs, put their imaginations to work and learn more about the wonderful world around them.
