Activity
Find objects from the woodland around you.
Look at them closely and have a think about how they feel, look, or smell. Think of all the things that the items could be, if they were not what they are.
For example, you may find a leaf, but if it weren’t a leaf could it be a boat for a fairy, or is it the same shape as an animal footprint, or a quill for writing stories?
Can you think of your own story using the items you found? Share your story with your friend.

Suggestions
- Walking through this entranceway could be a magical portal to another world. Or give you magical powers when you walk through. What magical powers would you like to have?
- How about creating a little bug hotel in the gaps, by finding sticks, grass and leaves to lay down for bugs to have a place to hide.
