1 - Wildlife and Plant Hunt

Turn your walk into a treasure hunt! Encourage your kids to spot different animals and plants along the way. You can pick up dead leaves and compare them, identify minibeasts and birds, or identify plants. It's a fantastic opportunity to teach them about local wildlife and the environment.



2 - Picnic Adventure

Elevate your stroll by packing a picnic! Find a cozy spot along your route, lay out a blanket, and indulge in some delicious snacks. It's a perfect chance for bonding and relaxation amidst nature.



3 - Texture Rubbings

Bring along some paper and crayons for a creative activity. Encourage your children to take rubbings of various textures they find along the walk—tree bark, leaves, or even interesting patterns on stones. It’s a tactile and artistic experience!



4 - Create a Family Walk Diary

Encourage your kids to become little explorers! Have them keep a diary or journal of everything they see during the walk. From fascinating insects to unique plants, capturing these moments will create lasting memories.


5 - Explore History with Wallaby App

Enhance the educational aspect of your walk with the Wallaby app! This innovative tool allows you to dive into the history and folklore of your surroundings through augmented reality and cool stories. Embrace the joy of learning, discovery, and quality family time on every adventure!
