A Wander In The Woods
Creative Writing Contest
Elementary
Inspire your child to get writing with A Wander In The Woods.
There's nothing better than a campfire tale, so we're inviting your child to craft their own story inspired by a walk in the woods.
From fantastical, imaginary tales to real-life events, from supernatural stories to recounts of well-known legends, there's no shortage of inspiration to get their creativity flowing!
Perfect for 6-13 year-olds, there are loads of FREE online resources to download to inspire them and help them get writing including:
🌲 Example stories from previous contest winners
🍄 Story mountain to help your young writer plan their mini saga
🌲 Information guide
🍄 Word Doc entry form for paperless submission
So if you go down to the woods today, you're sure of a delightful surprise as your child develops into a confident writer. We can't wait to read their story!
