Our Outdoor Hub is free to everyone and packed full of literally hundreds of step-by-step, photo-illustrated activities.
You don't have to be out in an amazing Forest School or woodland setting, most of the activities can be done at home in a yard or garden, many of them can be adapted and done indoors.
We really do encourage you to get outside if you can - the benefits to your health and wellbeing are huge. If you are able, find a way to get outside and take a breath of fresh air, move your body and let off some steam.
Our activities are organised in categories so you can find what you need, or use our keyword search (scroll down the left hand menu) to follow your children's interests.
Our one stop shop has a diverse selection of practical, educational and inspiring products for all your forest school, outdoor play and learning requirements.

The Outdoor Hub has a wealth of inspiring activities, events and information. Each section has been designed to encourage engagement in the outdoors, connection with nature and to help spark imaginative play and creativity.
