A safe journey through the Wusel Forest
Wuselhörnchen is mainly intended for children aged about 6 to 10 and for families who read, explore or cook together.
For families, primary schools and after-school clubs
Our main audience is children aged 6 to 10. Selected simple activities can also suit preschool children aged about 5 and up with adult guidance; this does not mean the whole website is intended for younger children. Our three free group activities (in German) each explain a simplified preschool version.

Everyone belongs in the Wusel woods.
Small or tall, round or slender, with or without a disability: every Wusel is equally valuable.
Some Wusels have always lived here. Others come from other Wusel lands. Some had to leave their homes and are looking for safety. They are all welcome.
We do not have to look alike, speak alike or be able to do the same things to belong together. We listen to one another, help each other and never leave anyone out because of their origin, appearance or disability.
Our values: every person has equal dignity. Origin, language, body shape and disability do not decide who belongs. People who had to flee their homes and seek safety are welcome too. Racism, prejudice and exclusion have no place in our Wusel world. Differences may be visible; nobody has to hide their origins or earn the right to belong.
