Up and down the country different venues are playing host to the gurffalo. There is a signposted trail around the forest, with well know gruffalo characters on the way to finding the gruffalo.
So we decided to go along to the one at the Wyre Forest in Kidderminster.
You have the opportunity to buy a trail pack for £2. This includes a sticker, a colouring sheet and an activity sheet.
You don't need this to do the trail but it's a nice added touch for older children.
So off we went.
There a signs like the one above all the way round. They all have activities on them to engage children with the forest and the story.
You also have signs like the one below to show you where to go, so don't worry about getting lost!!
The aim is to find all the characters from the book. Like the ones below.
We also found some wigwams along the way which my lad loved.
And then eventually you will find the Gruffalo!!
It was a lovely day out. We took a picnic with us and made an afternoon of if. I imagine older children will engage more with the activities. Where as my boy just enjoyed running around the forest and finding the animals.
