Do you run a Story Book Trail?

A Story Book Trail, sometimes called a StoryWalk®, combines literacy with physical activity and time in nature. When participating in a Story Book Trail, children and adults follow “trail signs”—pages from a children’s picture book that have been attached to wooden stakes. Walkers stroll down a path reading the story as they go.

​StoryWalks® have been installed in 50 states and 11 countries including, Germany, Canada, England, Bermuda, Russia, Malaysia and Pakistan!
