Sensory Explorer at Wyre Forest
Build nature connection with easy-to-follow resources for ages 4 to 7
Set out on an unforgettable trip to the forest with fun, sensory activities – all with clear learning outcomes and early year framework/curriculum links.
What to expect
Sensory Explorer includes complete, easy-to-follow instructions and enough activity equipment for 35 children. Work through a series of engaging activities to help your class discover the forest and deepen their connection to nature:
- Group warm-up scavenger hunt
- Woodland Rainbow – colours
- Meet a Tree game – touch and texture
- Forest Perfume – smell
- Secret Sounds – sound
- Woodland Music – bring sound to life with music
- Animal Trails – movement
Wrap up your visit with some reflection – what one thing will your pupils tell people about when they get home?
Hire price
Sensory Explorer costs £35+VAT per bag and £15+VAT per extra bag.
We recommend 1.5 to 2.5 hours to get the most out of the resource but you can choose just some of the activities for a shorter visit. If you’re planning to stay longer, add another resource (discounts available) or use our free learning resources.
Book and plan your trip
Sensory Explorer is available all year round. Book your resource packs by emailing wyre@forestryengland.uk.
A free pre-visit session with a member of Forestry England staff (when available) can help you plan your visit, go through the backpacks and look around the site. Simply enquire when booking.
