🌲🦊🦉🍄 Forest Treasure Hunt: The Stolen Food Supply
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.
🎁 What’s Waiting for You in the Kit
⚡ How It Works
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.

Ran this for the kids during the school holidays. We kitted everyone out with compasses and off they went round the back yard as little explorers. All 7 children were captivated for the best part of an hour. How well it suited the outdoors was a real highlight.

Got this for my girl’s 8th and it kept the whole party busy. We kitted everyone out with compasses and off they went round the back yard as little explorers. All 9 children were captivated for a happy 50 minutes. What really stood out was how well it suited the outdoors. One clue was slightly ambiguous and needed a small hint, otherwise it would have been five stars. A brilliant bit of fun that I’d recommend without hesitation.

Bought this for my son’s 8th forest party and it was the highlight of the day. The children became little explorers, hunting down each clue around the house with a nature checklist. 8 children took part and they were absorbed for about 70 minutes. The clues were pitched just right and never frustrated them. We’ll definitely be back for another theme.
