Keeping the kids entertained can be difficult at the best of times, but even more so just now. Luckily there are lots of resources that you can use to keep them busy, occupied annd entertained. We've brought together some of our favourites here, courtesy of our friends at Forestry England. Not only great fun to do, but also a great way of learning about the Lake District, Cumbria and the natural world around.
Become a tree explorer - learn about our forests in Grizedale and Whinlatter and how they are cared for.
Download the free Forest Bathing activity sheet - a great guide on how to start practising the art of forest bathing, a wonderful and relaxing natural pasttime that can help you reconnect with the natural world and aid health and wellbeing.
Download the twilight activity sheet, and learn some wonderful ways to keep busy at home whilst finding out about nocturnal wildlife including bats, hedgehogs and big eyed owls.
Or how about the 'Fantastic Forests Activity Search' - a great way for kids to test their knowledge of woody words with this forest-focused activity sheet including word search.
And don't forget to make yourself a 'Lake District Plan Jar' - the whole family can get involved by adding lots of ideas for great days out here in the Lake District Cumbria when you are next able to visit.
Have fun!
