Feel good in the forest activity bag

Hire an activity bag to feel good in the forest

Try a forest activity bag for children aged 4-13 years old and their adults to use to discover the wellbeing benefits of forests. 

Pick up a bag from your local forest, search the map below for your nearest site.

What’s in the bag? 

Over 15 activities with all the equipment you will need to explore, be creative, feel calm and share how the forest makes you feel. There are: 

  • binoculars to help you spot butterflies and birds.
  • a scavenger hunt and magnifying glasses to take a closer look at the forest’s plants and animals. 
  • sensory cards to explore with all your senses.
  • and lots of fun activities that will keep you warm, help you to feel calm and make new forest friends.

At the end of your visit, you’ll return the bag and we’ll give you a free feel good everywhere activity booklet so you can continue to enjoy nature from home.
