Versatile ‘My Outdoor Art’ frames. Here are some ideas:

• Create artwork in your outdoor area/garden/local park/forest/beach using natural loose parts such as pebbles, twigs, shells, leaves, etc. Take a photo and place the photo in this frame for display.

• Collect natural loose parts from the outdoors and use them to create a collage within this frame.

• Take these sheets outside attached to a clipboard, find a calm spot and make marks/drawings to reflect what you can see, hear, smell, etc.

Have fun!

These checklists are intended to focus the children on looking for aspects of the natural world around them on a wildlife walk.

The descriptions of each item are broad rather than specific so that there is greater scope for being able to complete each one. For example, the bird section can be ticked off when ANY bird is seen rather than a specific species.

The second sheet has spaces for small drawings/marks when recording what is seen.

Thirty practical invitations for exploring number composition, comparison, pattern, shape, spatial reasoning and measure. Offer real objects alongside a card and follow the child’s ideas. Five cards focus on number and composition; the other twenty-five broaden the maths available in autumn provision.

Using the cards

Choose one or two cards to place with suitable materials. Read the prompt aloud when helpful. “Wonder” offers an optional question; model the vocabulary naturally through talk, gestures or signs. Children can show their thinking by moving objects, pointing, describing, drawing or directing an adult. They do not need to read, record an answer or complete every card.

Ten invitations to explore autumn materials, movement and change through real play. Place a card beside suitable provision and follow the child’s interest. Use what is available locally. The illustrations show possible ways to explore; children can adapt the activity and follow their own ideas.

Using the cards

Prompt: an invitation to play.

Wonder: an optional question to share when it fits the moment.

Vocabulary: words for adults to model alongside gestures, signs or communication aids. Children do not need to read the cards or answer the questions.

- Offer one or two cards at a time.

- Watch, comment, allow repetition and welcome children’s ideas.

- Compare what happens when one thing changes.

- Revisit discoveries through talk, photographs or marks.

- These are starting points for play, not tasks to complete.

Adapt to the child

Preschool and Reception: explore the invitations with suitable resources and adult support.

Toddlers: simplify to one action and use large, safe alternatives.

Babies: share autumn colours, watch leaves move out of reach or explore a short play scarf with an adult. Small natural finds are not suitable for babies or children who mouth objects.

Offer floor, seated or table-height access, easy reach and suitable grips. Watching, gesturing, directing an adult or using a communication aid are ways to join in. Offer tools or alternatives for textures a child prefers not to touch. Follow children’s interests without making every area autumn-themed.

Twenty-four invitations for making temporary arrangements with autumn materials, plus six reusable action cards. Children place, move, combine and take apart loose pieces without glue. Enjoy the choosing and changing as much as the picture or arrangement that emerges.

Offer an invitation

Place one card beside a small choice of suitable materials and a clear working space. The card sits beside the play; it is not a mat to fill or a picture to cover. Read the invitation aloud if useful, then allow time to explore. The illustrations offer a possible starting idea. Welcome abstract arrangements, stories, experiments and ideas that grow beyond the prompt.

The smaller “You could…” line is optional support if a child wants a way in. “Words to share” gives adults useful vocabulary to model through conversation, gestures or signs. Neither is a checklist. Children can point, choose, move pieces, direct a partner or watch before joining in; they do not need to read the cards or produce a finished picture.

Use the action cards freely

ARRANGE IT • CHANGE IT • ADD TO IT • TAKE SOMETHING AWAY • PHOTOGRAPH IT • START AGAIN

Choose any action card beside an invitation, or use the action cards alone. They are choices, not a sequence to complete. Ask before changing or dismantling a child’s arrangement. Offer a photograph if the child wants a memory, with adult help as needed. Agree when to leave work in place and when to gather pieces for another day. Photographing and starting again are always optional.

Twenty-four invitations to design, build and adapt with autumn materials, plus four reusable process cards. The pictures suggest materials and actions. Welcome children’s own buildings, solutions and stories; there is no finished model they need to copy.

Using the challenges

Place one or two cards with a choice of suitable materials. Read the invitation aloud when useful. “Wonder” is an optional question to share when it fits the play; model the vocabulary through talk, gestures or signs. Children can build, point, explain, direct a partner or photograph an idea. They do not need to read the cards or record an answer.

Use toy animals, model trees and a pretend harvest. Offer blocks, short smooth sticks, bark, leaves, wood slices, cardboard, cloth, trays and suitable joining materials. Introduce an extra material or a changed problem when it helps the child pursue an idea. Keep familiar construction resources available alongside the autumn additions.

Plan it then try it

PLAN IT → BUILD IT → TEST IT → CHANGE IT

Display the four process cards together or choose the one that helps now. Planning can be talking, drawing, pointing or arranging materials. Agree what the building needs to do, try it gently, notice what happens and change a part. Children may move back and forth between the steps; this is a way to support play, not a fixed sequence to complete.

Adapt to the children

Primarily for Preschool and Reception. For toddlers, offer large lightweight pieces, one simple action and close adult support. Use fewer materials, wider stable bases and easy-to-grip joins where useful. Provide reachable floor or table space. Watching, choosing materials or directing an adult are valid ways to take part. Extend by changing a material, size or purpose, rather than always building higher.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 themed subitising posters which may also be used as mats. Each poster (1-6) displays the numeral on a central tree. Surrounding the tree are sycamore seeds, conkers, a hedgehog with dots and a dice which each subitise the number in different ways. In the top left corner we have also featured an autumn leaf with the number written in word form.

This hedgehog subitising (subitizing) game encourages children to spot the hedgehogs with the appropriate number of dots (in different formations). ‘How quickly can we match all of the hedgehogs to the correct piles of cosy leaves?’

You may want to add an element of challenge with a timer, e.g. ‘Can we get all of the hedgehogs to their safe hiding spots before the timer runs out?’ (We would advise beginning without a timer and then only adding this element to progress the game once children are becoming confident. Start with a time which is definitely achievable.)

Choose the appropriate pack for your child(ren): Subitising to 3, 5 or 10. Other 2 packs available here.

Help the child through a matching game, whilst reinforcing the names of the animals.

Ideal for 1-2 year olds, but use of cards can be adapted for different age groups.

Set of high Contrast black and white silhouette cards for ‘Nocturnal Animals’ theme. Perfect addition to your continuous provision surrounding this topic.

We have included a variety of cards in this pack for various purposes. The large high contrast images are well suited for visual tracking with babies and for decoration and displays. Our smaller cards are ideal for use with slightly older children in problem solving matching and sorting activities, either left out as an ‘invitation to play’ or as a more adult directed activity.

These Spring Senses Poem mark making prompt sheets will help encourage your children to draw and/or write about their senses and start to get a feel for poetry…perhaps after the children have been on a Spring walk! Children can complete them at varying levels. For example, your youngest children may be able to tell you what they see or hear and you can scribe a single word in each box. Some children may like to make marks to represent what they sense and your more developed children may like to write the rest of the sentence thinking about describing words to build a picture in the reader’s mind. Please note, the words do not need to rhyme.

‘Signs of Spring’ cards. Ideal for use as part of a Spring display to visually highlight the changes that happen following Winter. 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 tree?’ 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 ducklings are there in this picture?’, ‘Which is your favourite card?’, ‘Why do you like this picture the best?’, ‘What do you think this tree would look like in the Winter?’, ‘Have you seen any of these signs of Spring?’, ‘Where?’, ‘When?’, ‘Who were you with?’, ‘Shall we go outside and see which of them we can find?’

Signs of Spring’ colouring cards. As with the display full colour versions, these colouring cards are ideal to visually highlight the changes that happen following Winter. In conjunction with developing fine motor skills and expressive arts and design elements (e.g. the choice of colours), cards can also be used as a great stimulus for communication and language. When 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 tree?’ 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 have you used?’, ‘How many ducklings are there in this picture?’, ‘Which is your favourite card?’, ‘Why do you like this picture the best?’, ‘Shall we draw blossom on this tree?’, ‘Have you seen any of these signs of Spring?’, ‘Where?’, ‘When?’, ‘Who were you with?’, ‘Shall we go outside and see which of them we can find?’ If children take their pictures home, further consolidation of new vocabulary and Spring facts may arise through additional communication with those at home.

Have fun with this set of 8 Spring 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. 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! Great for physical development, descriptive language, understanding the world and turn taking.

This ‘myth buster’ fact sheet is not intended for use with children, but for practitioner background knowledge. It explains that while lots of animals slow down in winter, they don't all "hibernate" in the same way. The key differences lie in how deeply they sleep, how much control they have over their body temperature, and how easy it is for them to wake up.

We hope you find it useful!
