Where Do You Explore? I-Spy Cards
Our free downloadable 'Where Do You Explore?' I-Spy cards are great for when you're nipping to the shops, having a potter around the park, or enjoying a seaside jaunt, these cards gently focus children's attention on the world around them – precisely what we aim for in Forest School.
Just download some or all of our three themed sets – Park Adventures, Around the Block, and Seaside Treasures – and pop them in your bag, alongside the obligatory snacks, wet wipes and spare socks, for instant outdoor engagement.
Each card features readily available things to spot with eight tick boxes per item, so they're perfect for repeated outings. They transform an ordinary walk into a magnificent treasure hunt, encouraging keen observation and turning little legs from "I'm tired!" to "What can I find next?"
Use stickers (maybe from our sticker book suggestion below) or just a crayon or pencil to tick things off and watch as neighbourhood wanders become proper adventures!
Our May Book of the Month is: Poppy & Sam's Nature Sticker Book! It combines outdoor adventure with hands-on fun. Perfect for popping in your bag for café stops or rainy afternoons, it's the ideal bridge between indoor downtime and outdoor exploration – exactly the balance we're always encouraging!
Sticker activities are quietly building important skills like matching, observation and fine motor control. Plus, once completed, it becomes a lovely keepsake that celebrates your child's growing connection with the natural world. We also thought the extra stickers in there may be useful for our ‘Where Do You Explore?’ I-Spy cards!
Don’t forget to tag us at @growild_kindergarten_norwich in any photos you share of you enjoying ‘Where Do You Explore?’ We would LOVE to see how many items you can tick off!
