I love this! Have been looking for activities which are a) interactive, b) active! and c) focus on trees, since there seem to be far too many resources from which children might infer that only garden flowers are 'flowering plants'. Five stars from me :)

All the activities are written with the co-operation of the Woodland Trust. The activities support a number of different scientific skills.
