A dragon that is a firm favourite with children is once again the face of a family activity trail and free interactive app which will be launched at Whinlatter Forest on Saturday (February 18).
Zog is a loveable, if somewhat clumsy dragon, who is always striving to win a golden star. He learns lots of essential dragon skills including flying, roaring, and capturing princesses!
Forestry England’s Lake District forests are once again inviting children into the forest to learn essential lessons just like Zog who appears in the eponymous book by Julia Donaldson and Axel Scheffler.
This partnership between Forestry England, and Magic Light Pictures encourages children to connect with nature.
Children are encouraged to grab a Zog trail activity pack for £4 before starting the trail for lots of fun things to do on a forest adventure. They can channel their inner Zog by donning a pair of wings and completing fun challenges to collect golden stars.
They can also pop on magic glasses to look for hidden letters along the way to solve a word puzzle. When reaching the end of the trail, they complete a crayon rubbing to get their certificate and take a selfie with Zog!
To complement the trail there is also a new augmented reality app, Zog: A Forest Adventure, that is free to download. The app has lots of bonus activities to complete including a roar-ometer, a dance challenge and the chance to become Zog.
Download the Zog app from the App store or Play store.
