The forest animals’ food supply has disappeared, and they suspect Fox Felix. Follow his trail through eight woodland stations to investigate the mystery and recover the missing supplies. An adult reads the story aloud and guides 3–15 children aged 4–9 through animal-track matching, leaf identification using the printables, movement games and a final treasure search.

Read the host guide before play. Print the templates in color as recommended, cut out the materials, prepare the activity equipment and plan eight stations. An adult reads the story aloud and guides the children through the game. Preparation and playing time depend on your printing, route and group; allow enough time before the children arrive.

🔊 How do the audio files work?
The audio files come in standard .mp3 format. You can play them with any normal music player on a phone or tablet – no extra app or special software needed. Just download and press play.
2. What is the best way to play them during the scavenger hunt?
The easiest option is to download the files before the hunt starts, so you don't rely on mobile internet outdoors.
For larger groups or outdoor play, a small Bluetooth speaker helps all children hear the story clearly. The files are numbered, so you can play them in the correct order – matching each station.
3. Are they just simple read-aloud audios?
No 🙂 The audio files are designed to be narrative and lively, so the kids feel like they are inside the story. The messages are not just read aloud – they sound like small audio-drama moments at each station. This boosts attention and keeps everyone deeply engaged.

Booked this for my daughter’s 9th birthday and it went down a storm. The children became little explorers, hunting down each clue through the woods with a nature checklist. 6 children took part and they were absorbed for well over an hour. I loved the nature-themed clues. Easily the best party activity we’ve done — worth every penny.

This was the main activity at my son’s 8th forest party. They were little explorers for the afternoon, racing round the garden solving clue after clue with a nature checklist. We had 8 kids in total and it kept them busy for the best part of an hour. What really stood out was the nature-themed clues. Easily the best party activity we’ve done — worth every penny.

Ran this at my boy’s 8th birthday and the children loved it. The kids tore all over the living room and hallway as little explorers, following the trail from one clue to the next. All 7 children were captivated for around 75 minutes. The whole thing was beautifully presented and easy to print at home. My boy is still talking about it weeks later.

This was the main activity at my boy’s 7th forest party. They were little explorers for the afternoon, racing through the woods solving clue after clue with a nature checklist. All 8 children were captivated for a happy 45 minutes. Brilliant value, and I can see us reusing the idea again. “Best party ever,” according to my boy — high praise indeed.

A truly wonderful forest treasure hunt! The story about Felix the Fox is super cute. We played it in the park for a 6th birthday, and it was a total hit.

I never would’ve thought something so simple would be such a hit! We played the treasure hunt in the woods, and the kids (5–7 years old) were super focused, motivated, and totally excited. One of them even asked when we’re doing it again.

Ran this at my boy’s 7th birthday and the children loved it. The children became little explorers, hunting down each clue all over the living room and hallway with compasses. All 8 children were captivated for the best part of an hour. Couldn’t recommend it more to other parents.

The forest scavenger hunt was really great! Our birthday group (six kids between 5 and 7) immediately asked if we could do it again. I was a bit unsure about the prep at first, but it was actually super relaxed.

Lovely treasure hunt with a few small areas for improvement
The forest treasure hunt was a big success! The kids had so much fun, and the story really drew them in. A few of the riddles were a bit tricky for our youngest (4 years old), but with a little help it worked out fine. It would be great to have an option with extra tasks for older kids, though. Other than that, really fantastic!

Bought this for my son’s 8th forest party and it was the highlight of the day. We kitted everyone out with a nature checklist and off they went through the garden as little explorers. All 7 children were captivated for the best part of an hour. Being an instant download, I had it printed the same evening I ordered. Would happily buy from here again.
