Perfect for a seasonal topic in the autumn, you can walk children through the changing seasons with these hedgehog activities.

The Very Helpful Hedgehog - Scoilnet Story: The Very Helpful Hedgehog - Scoilnet

Though the moral of "helping others" is often featured in kids books, this is by far one of the better showings of it I've come across. May we please also ask that children do not bring toys from home into the Nursery as they can get lost or broken. Isaac is a very appealing character and children will run to copy him playing with the leaves and sky-gazing while the wind blows. He’s back in a new adventure just right for this time of year, the pages saturated in the golds, reds and browns of autumn.For the last few weeks the children have been exploring the beautiful Autumn colours, keeping in view their interest – next week we will read a new story ‘Elmer’ by David McKee. Choose which poem works best for your class (perhaps just ask children to learn the first verse of Three Little Kittens if you choose that one). As he struggles to remove the apple, help comes in the unexpected form of a donkey who cannot reach the apples which fall outside of his paddock. The tale of Issac the hedgehog who learns that it is better to have a friend and to be helpful than to be on your own all of the time.

Luckily Isaac meets a donkey who absolutely loves apples but can’t reach the ones which fall from the tree. And it could lead to a discussion with older kids about introverts and extroverts and how they can be friends.
