My little boy lives with his mum and I decided to do an advent calendar for him but what I will do is leave a small box on the doorstep each morning with something different in it each day that I find. It will be a leaf or nut or something and then he has all day to find out what it is from books and then phone me at the end of the day to tell me what it is. I will text his mum the answer any way just in case they struggle. I thought it would be a better idea than those shop brought ones with chocolate in them. Today is an oak leaf to start with.

Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
I am sure he is a bright boy, so for instance you may have cooked your own goose! By putting an oak leaf in, so now you can't do an acorn for tomorrow, as he will think his Dad's a bit lazy!
Is he old enough to understand our wildlife and some of the things that happen to it? If so access to a bit of squirrel tail, easy to identify bird feather, cramp ball maybe.

That is a good idea I have some fox tail and there is a dead magpie I shot the other day don't know if his mum will like that but I could try
Cool idea!
I am sure you'll come up with plenty of stuff if you can give the answers yourself.
Leaves, nuts, twigs, stones, bark, a feather. It shouldn't be to hard.
