Ideas for forest trips
You can head off into the woods without any big plans - just strap on your backpack and go! But sometimes it's nice to plan a trip, so if you need ideas, tips and activities, you can find materials for the Finnish Kids' Forest Trip Day in the MAPPA material bank. The Forest Trip Day materials are divided into themed packs, which you can access directly from the links below. Some of the materials have been produced during class teacher training. Currently, most of the materials are in Finnish.
You can also go directly to the MAPPA website, where you will find not only these theme packs, but also lots of other ideas. We also share ideas on our social media channels, so be sure to follow them!
