Autumn Woodland | Small World Animal Figures

Autumn Woodland | Small World Animal Figures

Eight movable woodland animals for small-world play, with optional name cards and folded supports. Use them alongside blocks, fabric, checked natural materials and animal figures you already have. Children can move, combine and reinterpret the pieces freely.

Approximate longest animal dimensions: hedgehog and mouse 6–7 cm; squirrel, owl and rabbit 8 cm; fox, badger and deer 9–10 cm. These are play sizes, not a true-to-life scale comparison. Illustrations show a grey squirrel, tawny owl and roe deer doe; names on the pieces remain simple.

Choose how to use them

Use flat on a tray or floor, place in suitable card holders, or secure to blocks. Keep any animal names separate so the figures stay open to imaginative use. Optional name cards are on page 4. Add only a few animals at first and follow the children’s stories.

Optional folded supports

Print page 5 on firm, foldable card, or use it as a template. Print it twice for eight identical supports. Make one first with your chosen card and check that it stands well before making the rest.

Autumn Woodland | Small World Environment Pieces

Autumn Woodland | Small World Environment Pieces

Fifteen movable pieces to enrich your small-world provision: four trees, a log, a stump, two bushes, fungi, a leaf pile, stones, an empty nest, a burrow entrance, a tree hollow and a fallen branch. Use a few at a time alongside blocks, fabric, bark, checked natural materials and your woodland animals.

Trees are approximately 15–16 cm tall; most other pieces are approximately 6–10 cm across their longest dimension. These are practical play sizes, not a true-to-life scale. Use the 5 cm check line on page 7 to check the print size.

Autumn Woodland | Small World Finds & Signs

Autumn Woodland | Small World Finds & Signs

Eight woodland-find props and ten optional habitat signs to add to small-world play, with two blank signs for children’s own places. Use them with the animal figures and environment pieces, or with blocks, fabric and resources you already have. Offer a few pieces and follow the children’s stories.

The find props are approximately 6–7 cm across their longest dimension, including a little cutting margin. Signs measure 8 × 4 cm. These are useful play sizes rather than a true-to-life scale. The check line on page 5 should measure 5 cm.

Autumn Woodland | Small World Habitat Invitations

Autumn Woodland | Small World Habitat Invitations

Eight habitat invitations and seven build-a-habitat cards to support children’s small-world ideas. Each has a new illustration and a few words to share. A blank invitation on the final sheet gives space for children’s own questions, drawings or dictated ideas.

Place one card beside a small choice of materials, or offer it when it connects with the children’s play. Read the prompt aloud if useful and allow time for children to notice, choose and try. The cards can be used in any order. Children can adapt the idea, choose another animal or follow a different story.

Offer materials that can change

Use blocks, short smooth logs, bark, suitable wood slices, fabric, trays and checked natural materials. Add your woodland animal figures or the printable pieces from Sections 1–3. Blue fabric can suggest water without needing a real water tray. Keep the space flexible so children can move, combine and add materials.

The pictures suggest possibilities, not models to reproduce. Animals in the illustrations can stand for the figures used in play. These invitations are for pretend small worlds, not instructions for housing or feeding real wildlife. Empty spaces can become homes for different characters; there is no fixed animal-to-habitat match.

Autumn Woodland | Small World Story Invitations

Autumn Woodland | Small World Story Invitations

Twelve story starters and six reusable prompts for imaginative small-world play. Each offers a possible moment in a story. Children can choose the characters, decide what happened and take the play in their own direction. Use the cards with your woodland figures, loose parts and movable environment pieces.

The starters include a disappearance, a coming storm, someone lost, an animal needing help, approaching winter, an unusual find, a new arrival, a blocked path, too little food, a new home, an overnight change and a hidden sound. The reusable prompts ask what happens next, who comes along, where they will go, what has changed, who could help and what they might need.

Offer one idea and follow the play

Place a card near a small choice of figures and materials, or introduce it when it connects with a child’s story. Read the short line aloud if useful, then pause. Children might act, make sounds, move a figure, point or tell you an idea. They do not need to read the card, answer a question or complete a story.

The pictures are possible starting points. Children can choose different animals, invent another explanation or ignore the suggestion. For “Something has disappeared”, the missing thing is theirs to decide. For the hidden sound, leave its source open. These are pretend story situations; use animal figures and suitable props.

Keep the conversation responsive

Notice what the child has already introduced: “The mouse stopped at the path.” You could echo an idea or add a few words that help them express it. Offer one reusable prompt when helpful, then allow time. Avoid running through all six questions. A repeated action or a very short episode can be a worthwhile story in its own right.

Use the reusable cards with any starter, with a child’s existing story or on their own. They are choices, not a sequence. Follow children’s feelings and interests; choose a gentler starter or change the wording if loss, storms or needing a new home feels uncomfortable. Children can stop, change or return to a story whenever they wish.

Make room for different ways to join in

Offer fewer figures, larger lightweight pieces and a reachable play space where helpful. Children can select a character, use gesture or their usual communication supports, direct a partner or watch first. If a child wants a record, an adult can write down their words or help them photograph the play. Recording is optional.

Autumn Woodland | Small World Position and Tracks

Autumn Woodland | Small World Position and Tracks

Seven illustrated invitations and six movable track strips support spatial language, investigation and storytelling in small-world play. Offer them with animal figures, blocks, logs, fabric and woodland pieces. Children can move, combine and reinterpret the materials freely.

Choose the pages you need

Pages 2–5  |  Beside, beneath, behind, between, inside, above and through; plus one optional blank card.
Pages 6–7  |  Fox, deer, rabbit, badger, squirrel and bird track strips.

Use position words within play

Offer one card when it connects with the play. Read the invitation if helpful, then give children time to move a figure, point, gesture or explain. The image shows one example; children can choose other animals, materials and arrangements. There is no need to copy the model or work through all seven cards.

Describe what is happening: “Your mouse is beneath the bark.” You can connect beneath with under and beside with next to. For between, show two reference objects. For behind, look from the child’s viewpoint and notice what is hidden. Above does not have to mean touching or resting on something.

Let children direct a partner or adult if moving the pieces is difficult. Use larger figures, fewer objects or a reachable play surface as needed. Children can respond with their usual communication supports. Change one position at a time if helpful; reading and spoken answers are not required.

Let tracks become part of the story

Lay one strip beside a log, lead it towards a tree or let children build a route with several strips. They might follow it with a figure, choose who made it or decide where it leads. Ask “Where might these go?” when it helps the play. The animal names are preparation labels outside the cut lines, so the strips can remain unlabelled.

Autumn Movement Challenge Cards

Autumn Movement Challenge Cards

Have great fun with your children whilst all acting out Autumn sights with this set of 8 Autumn Activity Challenge cards. Perhaps children could stand in a circle around the pile of cards and take turns to pick one for everyone to do. Cards could equally be shrunk down and placed on a key ring to take out on adventures or featured on an indoor or outdoor display board and referred to with everyone carrying out the activity on floor space in front. Once the children get to know the cards they will be able to relate the action to the picture without necessarily needing the card read to them...For example an adult may be able to simply hold up a card and everyone will be able to do the activity together! For those children who are exceptionally engaged, these cards explored in sequence could even be set to music as a dance performance! Great for physical development, descriptive language, understanding the world and turn taking.

The cutting out of the leaves also helps as fine motor practice.

Signs of Autumn Posters

Signs of Autumn Posters

‘Signs of Autumn’ cards. Ideal for use as part of a Autumn display to visually highlight the changes that happen following Summer. Cards can also be used as a great stimulus for communication and language.

When used as part of a display or offered as part of an invitation to play children may initiate communication to you or other children about the cards in a child led fashion. Alternatively, adult led interaction could include closed or open ended questioning. Younger children may point to familiar objects when prompted e.g. ‘Where’s the squirrel?’ and learn new words as you describe to them what is in the picture. As children progress, more ground may be covered such as ‘What colours can you see?’, ‘How many leaves are there in this picture?’, ‘Which is your favourite card?’, ‘Why do you like this picture the best?’, ‘What do you think trees will look like in the Winter?’, ‘Have you seen any of these signs of Autumn?’, ‘Where?’, ‘When?’, ‘Who were you with?’, ‘Shall we go outside and see which of them we can find?’ You may like to use our ‘Autumn Checklists’ as an activity prompt for searching outside.

Autumn Picture Snap Cards

Consolidate children’s knowledge of Autumn sights whilst playing a fun game of ‘snap’ (or a memory game of ‘picking up pairs’ if you only print 2 of each card) with this set of large snap cards. The cards are made with a tab which can be folded before lamination in order to strengthen the final product. This also means that when turned over, the picture on the front can not be seen.
