This Winter Nature Hunt resource is an engaging outdoor learning activity for EYFS and Key Stage 1, designed to help children explore seasonal change, wildlife, and habitats through hands-on investigation. Ideal for forest school, outdoor learning, science, geography, and continuous provision, this pack encourages curiosity, observation, and meaningful discussion about the natural world during winter.

All wildlife and natural features included have been carefully selected to represent the winter season. Some items are easier to spot than others, encouraging children to explore a range of habitats and observe nature at different times of day. Winter is a valuable season for wildlife spotting, as trees lose their leaves and animals and habitats become more visible.

Children are encouraged to use all of their senses while exploring - looking closely, listening carefully, and noticing environmental changes. Adults can deepen learning by using what, when, where, and why questions to prompt discussion and develop early scientific thinking around seasonal change.

Covering spring, summer, autumn, and winter, this printable bundle supports hands-on learning through observation, discussion, and real-world exploration. Ideal for forest school, science lessons, outdoor provision, and home learning, this bundle encourages curiosity and early scientific thinking in every season. Each seasonal pack focuses on wildlife and natural features that children are most likely to see at that time of year. Some items are easier to spot than others, prompting children to explore a range of habitats such as gardens, school grounds, parks, and woodland areas. Children are encouraged to use all of their senses and to think about what they can see, where it appears, when it is most likely to be found, and why it appears in that particular season. The bundle supports vocabulary development, environmental awareness, and a deeper understanding of how plants and animals respond to seasonal changes. Resources can be used flexibly with individuals, small groups, or whole classes and are suitable for a wide range of learning needs.
