Gumnut Trails contains 66 story cards with illustrations on one side and 66 missions and games on the back, designed for children aged 3-12 to use outdoors at the beach, bush or backyard.
Clean Ingredients / Materials
Made from excellent, non-toxic materials. Adventure cards and boxes printed on 100% FSC-certified paper with non-toxic, water-based inks.
Ethical Practices
Gumnut Trails designs its products in Melbourne, with 50% of card inserts printed locally and external boxes printed in China and final assembly in Melbourne. All materials are responsibly sourced, using FSC or PEFC certified paper and non-toxic, eco-friendly inks. The paper is produced under ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standards from ECF pulp. The brand ensures responsible printing, production and manufacturing protocols and is committed to fair working conditions without reliance on mass manufacturing or exploitative labour. Production is 100% cruelty-free, with no animal-derived or toxic materials used.
Sustainable Practices
Gumnut Trails produces its adventure cards using 100% recycled, FSC-certified paper and non-toxic inks, following ISO 14001 Environmental Management Standards. Small batch printing minimises production wastage and storage needs. The cards feature a matt-cello coating for durability and long-term use, reducing wastage over time. Local suppliers are used wherever possible to minimise transportation emissions, except for the outer box. Mailer packaging is made from ocean-bound recycled plastic.
Social Impact
Gumnut Trails supports children’s development and family connections by providing Adventure Guides that encourage families to engage in creative, screen-free outdoor activities. The guides highlight Australia’s unique wildlife, history and Traditional Owners, incorporating Indigenous knowledge where appropriate. A portion of profits supports local community and nature projects, such as the mosaic trail along Melbourne’s Merri Creek, developed in collaboration with Friends of the Merri Creek and a local council, to help families explore local habitats.
Product Reviews by Experts
I am all for something that encourages kids to get outside! These cards are beautifully designed and full of creative activities to help little ones explore nature and the world around them. There are so many ideas in here, some I would never have thought to do! I am really blown away by the originality and creativity of each card. I love that there are multiple ways to interact with the cards, from the activities themselves, to the storytelling elements, or simply enjoying the beautiful illustrations as inspiration. I love that they can be done with one child, or with ten! Meaning that we can use them with friends and also encourage a sense of connection and belonging too. A wonderful product that any parent would love; I am really impressed with these and so glad I have now found Gumnut Trails. I love that these are printed in small batches to allow for any errors or mistakes, as I know often products like these are purchased in massive amounts and errors could mean entire shipments of boxes being lost. These are also printed on 100% recycled paper with a durable coating so that they can be enjoyed for generations!
As a mum of a three and four year old, I instantly understood the appeal of this product. My children already love scavenger hunts and little adventures, so this felt perfectly suited to their age and stage. What I love most is how it transforms something as simple as a walk in the bush, a trip to the beach or time in the backyard into an exciting adventure. I also love that the cards are durable, waterproof and genuinely portable, making them easy to throw in a bag for a beach trip, bushwalk or even an afternoon in the backyard. Encouraging children to spend more time outdoors, connect with nature and develop an appreciation for the environment is incredibly valuable in today’s world. I also appreciate the thoughtful production choices, including the use of FSC-certified materials, non-toxic inks and small-batch manufacturing. Beyond sustainability, I love the emphasis on strengthening family connections, fostering environmental awareness and supporting community projects that encourage outdoor exploration.
I absolutely love the concept behind these cards and how beautifully they encourage children to reconnect with imaginative, screen-free outdoor play. I really value products that help create meaningful family connection without adding to the mental load, while also supporting curiosity, creativity and a genuine sense of adventure. I love that something as simple as a walk through the bush, time at the beach or being in your own backyard can suddenly become so much more magical for children. An opportunity to think outside the box and see the world around them a little differently. My kids loved the activities and I loved that they removed so many barriers by not needing specific tools or equipment. It feels like such a thoughtful way to inspire creativity, exploration and a deeper connection to the world around them. What stood out to me most is how intentionally this brand has considered both environmental responsibility and the wider impact they are creating for families and children. I really value the commitment to responsibly sourced materials, small batch production, local manufacturing where possible and thoughtful packaging choices designed to minimise environmental impact. Beyond the product itself, I particularly appreciate the deeper mission of encouraging children to connect with nature, reducing reliance on screen-based entertainment and helping foster respect for the environment from an early age. A beautifully thoughtful brand creating positive impact in more ways than one.
