Beneath The Trees - October

Step beneath the autumn canopy for a month of woodland wandering, friendship, creativity and discovery with Beneath the Trees, our beautifully curated October learning box for curious children aged 5–11.

This month’s richly illustrated activity booklet invites children to explore the remarkable worlds found beneath towering trees. They’ll journey to Redwood National and State Parks with Roo, meet courageous entomologist Evelyn Cheesman, explore dots and pattern through the work of Yayoi Kusama, and investigate tree rings, woodland fungi, moss, lichen and the miniature creatures hiding within them.

Children will also discover how water travels through trees, search for signs of autumn, create their own woodland-inspired artwork and explore friendship through thoughtful activities inspired by The House at Pooh Corner.

There are plenty of surprises still waiting inside, with creative challenges, immersive audio, QR-code extras, carefully chosen book recommendations and meaningful opportunities to investigate, make, notice and wonder.
