We are bringing the world of Winnie-the-Pooh to children in the classroom via Farshore’s brand new story collection for 5-9 year olds, Winnie-the-Pooh: Tales from the Forest. The project highlights the real-life inspiration for the book, Ashdown Forest, and the conservation efforts to protect the ecology and inhabitants of this very special environment.

Tales from the Forest Tree of Trees

Schools can participate in the project at any time, but we also had the opportunity to create a special Tales from the Forest: Tree of Trees installation in Ashdown Forest for Easter 2024.

The ootiboo team worked with local woodsman Andrew Coates to construct a unique tree design from rounds cut from the trunks of different trees that had come down in the forest. Willow branches were added to hang 1,250 leaves coloured by schoolchildren participating in the project across the UK (and a school from Malta!). The leaves were made of calico eco-friendly fabric and decorated using eco-crayons from The Natural Crayon Company.

With the installation complete, schools taking part can create their own imaginative Tree of Trees designs and share on our gallery.
