Hibernating Hedgehogs

The children were excited to find out what they would be doing during their ‘Forest Fun’ session. The children sat engaged while Miss Jones made salt dough, they were able to name the ingredients Miss Jones was using. The children sat and listened to a story called ‘The Very Helpful Hedgehog’. Miss Jones and the children talked about hibernation and what hedgehogs do during the winter. During the forest fun session the children were asked to collect small sticks ready to make their own hedgehog. The children were given a ball of salt dough which they shaped into the hedgehog’s body. They placed the sticks on top to create the hedgehog’s spikes. The children looked for natural objects for the hedgehog’s eyes and nose. Great hedgehogs Kingfishers.
