Forest School Recipe Card - Mini Shelter Building 'One Winter's Day'

Forest School or outdoor activity for EYFS and Key Stage 1. Mini shelter building activity. Topic: Seasons (Winter) and Habitats.
Can be used as part of a topic on Winter, encouraging the children to think about how they can keep warm in cold weather. The activity could also be used as part of a topic on animal habitats or used to explore materials that are good insulators.
Using the story ‘One Winter’s Day’ by M. Christina Butler as a stimulus, the children will help hedgehog to find the matching hats and gloves before building mini shelters for the woodland animals.
This open-ended mini shelter building activity encourages the children to investigate and ‘have a go’, to keep on trying if they encounter difficulties, and to have and develop their own ideas.
The perfect recipe for a fun filled Forest School session!
