Hello! My name is Igo! Look in the sky, you might see me flying over the Seal Station…
As you can guess, I am a bird, a big bird. I live in the archipelago and am the biggest bird of prey (also named raptor) in Sweden.
I am brown, my tail is white and my beak is yellow. My wings are big 70 to 90cm long.
I see the forest from the sky, you see the forest from the ground. I will guide you in the forest today. Look at the map, at each point you get an experience or a game suggestion.
Have fun!
Who am I really? Guess and look at the answer on the back…

Hello! Is it fun to hike in the forest? In the sky I can fly where I want, I like to play with the winds. And you can go wherever you want? Well, almost! ”Allemansrätten” in Sweden gives you many rights and obligations out in the forest and land. Not disturb not destroy. This is how you can summarize the right to common law. You can hike, pick berries, play and camp almost everywhere in nature without asking permission. But it is also important that you are careful and consider animals, nature and other people when you are out in nature. Do you have some knowledge about it? Try the Game about Allemansrätten!
Take out the cards in the bag. Choose a question depends on your age: 2- 5 years or 5+. The answers are on the back of the cards.
Good luck!

Hello! Do you know that a ”dead” tree is actually full of life both outside and inside. On the tree there is a teeming life of insects, mosses, rot fungi, lichens and other animals that feed on them. There is even a greater range of species on a dead tree than on a living one.
Find a ”dead” tree in the forest and look under it. What do you see? Use the magnifying glass that is in the cloth bag so that you can see even the things that are put a little!
When you are done, carefully put the piece of wood back in the same place. It is important not to disturb any animals that have the tree as their home.
Have a good one!

Hello! When you walk you sometimes see poo. Look at the cards and guess who has pooped right where you are!
Can yourself go to the toilet in nature?
Listen to my answer! If you need to pee, move a few meters away from the path or where other people may be or pass by. If you need to poop, you can dig a hole in the ground, but it must be further away, at least 100 meters from the path or where other people may be or walk by. Afterwards, you should bury the toilet paper or take it home. You will find small bags for it in the backpack! You can throw the bag in the bin when you get back to the Seal station.
When you leave the place, it should not appear that you were there.
Super important!

Hello! You have arrived at my favorite spot. From there you can see the archipelago without flying… What do you see?
Close your eyes for a moment, what do you hear?
Tell this to those you hike with!
When you’re done, I can tell you something…
On the other side, on the island, you see some red houses. Kure lives there, he is a fisherman. His father was also a fisherman and he delivered fish to the Seal Station to feed the seals in the 1940s.
Awesome right?

Hello! Now you are going to play and discover trees all around!Divide into pairs. One of the pair closes his eyes and the other spins the one who closes his eyes for a few turns so that he loses his orientation. Then the person who closes his eyes is led carefully to a tree and gets to feel the tree properly. Thickness, smell, texture of the bark, lichens growing on the bark, branches sticking out, etc. You feel your trees until you think you will recognize them again and are then led back. After being spun a couple of times again, it’s time to take off the blindfold. Now you have to try to find your way back to the tree. Switch roles!Have a nice day!Igo

Hello! Want to craft your game and play! Simply! You need 4 pins, 3 stones, 3 cones and someone to play with.
Start by building a game board like in the picture. Choose different types of game pieces, stones or cones. Then you can start playing, you place a piece in turn. Then you can still move a piece on your turn. The first to place their game pieces three in a row wins. Take turns starting the game.
Good luck!
