A new, clear, challenge-based activity map was designed to provide 'Beginning to Read' aged children with a fun numeracy and literacy challenge.
  Street-painted 'blue paws' joined up the Trail, giving the set of artworks a recognisable identity regardless of their location around the town.
Rewards were designed to encourage creativity and an understanding of the universal themes of the Trail, and to bring the public into the Town Council offices.
The Trail was reframed as 'A free public trail of 22 artworks celebrating children's stories, for little people, with big imaginations, to explore.'
Communication were place where families are...outside the family toilets, in the park.
The Trail was given a Guardian to look after it, and to use Facebook to reach more of the community
More people to the Library to pick up maps, rewards and to share their own art card creations with a dedicated Trail wall.
More inclusive messages
More useful and imaginative rewards
