PROGRESS OF THE CLASS
(Children stand in a semicircle)
TEACHER: Today, children, I decided to read you an excerpt from E. Trutneva’s poem “Autumn.”
Suddenly it became twice as bright,
The yard is like in sun rays -
This dress is golden
On the shoulders of a birch tree.
In the morning we go to the yard -
Leaves are falling like rain,
They rustle underfoot
And they fly, fly, fly...
What time of year was the poem talking about?
Children's answers (About autumn)
Name the autumn months.
Children's answers (September October November)
How do you understand the expression “leaves fall like rain”?
Answers children . The leaves are falling.
What signs of autumn do you know?
Children's answers: In autumn the sun shines, but heats weakly. The day becomes shorter than the night. The sky in autumn is gray, cloudy, gloomy. The leaves on the trees become colorful. The leaves are starting to fall. Migratory birds They fly away to warmer climes, and those who spend the winter stay with us. Wild animals are preparing for winter.
TEACHER: What wild animals of Bashkortostan do you know?
Children's answers: Fox, bear, hedgehog, squirrel, wolf, elk, hare, wild boar, lynx.
Educator: Why do we call these animals wild?
Children's answers: Because they live in the forest, and people don't take care of them. Because they take care of themselves and live in the wild.
Educator: Children, I suggest you remember where wild animals live in the forest. (Conducted didactic game"Who lives where").
TEACHER: Where does the squirrel live? (the squirrel lives in a hollow).
Where does the bear live? (the bear lives in a den).
Where does the fox live? (The fox lives in a hole).
Where does the wolf live? (The wolf lives in a den).
Where does the hedgehog live? (the hedgehog lives in a nest of leaves).
Where does moose live? (The elk lives in the thicket of the forest.)
TEACHER : Well done, children, don’t forget how wild animals adapted to live in the forest without human help. What season follows autumn?
Children's answers: (winter will come after autumn)
Educator: That's right, after autumn comes winter. Winter is a very difficult, cold season. In winter, it is very difficult for wild animals in the forest: it is cold, there is little food. Therefore, wild animals prepare for winter. But first, let's do a warm-up, we children also need to get ready for school. Finger gymnastics is carried out: “Animals that we can show.”
Children approach the board on which there are pictures of wild animals.
Oh, hear, someone is knocking on our door. Quiet. I'm gonna chech it. Children, Dunno has come to us. He says that he also wants to know how animals prepare for winter. Shall we tell Dunno? Sit down, Dunno, more comfortably and listen.
Children, I give you a magic ball that can record our conversation. Then we will give it to Dunno, in case he forgets something, puts it to his ear and hears your stories again. Pass the ball carefully, slowly. As soon as you hear the word stop, start a story about how wild animals prepare for winter.
The teacher holds a ball and tells how moose winter: moose go far into the thicket of the forest, where there is a lot of bushes and dead wood, where the cold wind subsides and it is easier to endure the cold, where it is difficult for predatory animals to get through. Dense fur prevents predators from moving through thick dead wood, and elk spend the winter in safety.
The teacher passes the ball to the children.
CHILDREN: Squirrel In summer and autumn he makes provisions for the winter, hides cones and nuts in his forest pantries, dried mushrooms. She arranges forest storerooms in an old hollow left by a hardworking woodpecker. By winter, the squirrel's fur coat changes color and thickness.
Hare changes his gray coat to a white, warmer one. He does this to keep him warm in winter and to be invisible in the snow. After all, the bunny has a lot of enemies. This is a fox, a wolf, an owl, and a marten. If in the summer the bunny grazed the grass to his heart's content, and in the fall he feasted on juicy cabbage and carrots, then in the winter he has a hard time, all that remains is the bark of trees and branches of bushes sticking out from under the snow.
Hedgehog in the fall it eats heartily in order to accumulate a lot of fat under its prickly coat, because in winter it hibernates and needs to sleep peacefully all winter. The hedgehog chooses a convenient hole, or a small hollow, somewhere under a spreading tree, wraps itself in leaves and falls asleep, waiting to be covered with snow.
TO THE BEAR You also need to eat well, accumulate more fat under the skin in order to sleep peacefully all winter. The bear makes a den for itself in a small ravine, throwing a tree over it and throwing dry dead wood over it. He climbs inside and falls asleep. When snow falls and the ravine fills up, the bear becomes warm and comfortable.
TEACHER: Guys, the fox and the wolf are not preparing for winter, why aren’t these animals preparing for winter? (they are predators and therefore are always looking for food).
Yes, it’s not easy for wild animals in the forest in winter. Well, Dunno, get the magic ball and run, tell me what you learned. Children, Dunno thanked you, say goodbye to Dunno.
It's time for us to play.
Physical education minute:
The hares are jumping hop-hop-hop!
Yes to the white snow,
They sit down and listen -
Is there a wolf coming?
Once - bent, straightened up,
Two - bent over, stretched,
Three nods of the head, stood up, jump to the side. We stood, looked and sat down.
TEACHER: Come to the tables. Children, wild animals have prepared mushrooms for you. Treats - wild animals were allowed to give tea to anyone who could name words - definitions for animals. (Children say - which one, which one, choosing pictures with wild animals on the board, removing the pictures after the answer).
The TEACHER calls the children. Children give definition words:
Squirrel - caring, hardworking, troublesome, nimble, dexterous.
Hare - cowardly, fearful, shy, white, gray,
Bear - clumsy, clumsy, clumsy
Hedgehog - prickly, brave, courageous, courageous.
Lynx - dexterous, fast, brave, sensitive.
Elk - big, strong, fast, herbivore
The wolf is fast, angry, gray, toothy.
The fox is beautiful, fluffy, careful, cunning, fast.
Educator: Children, name the herbivorous wild animals of Bashkortostan. (Hare, elk, squirrel).
What wild predatory animals of Bashkortostan do you know? (wolf, fox, lynx, hedgehog).
Do you think there should be fewer predatory animals than herbivores or more?
Children's answers : There should be fewer predatory animals.
Educator: Such relationships are expressed in the form of various pyramids, which are called “ecological pyramids”.
In order for herbivores to eat, there must be more blades of grass than herbivores. Therefore, the grass strip is longer than the herbivore strip, and there are fewer herbivores than grass. Well, carnivores are not averse to eating herbivores for lunch. They are bigger and stronger and need to eat a lot of herbivores. Therefore in the forest
There must be more herbivores than predators so that there is enough food for everyone. This creates a pyramid. To summarize: in order for everyone to have enough food, there must be more grass than herbivores, and there must be more herbivores than wild predatory animals. (An ecological pyramid is laid out on the board.)

How animals prepare for winter
1 slide. Presentation title: “How animals prepare for winter”
Hare
In winter the hare changes his fur coat to White color. The belly, front legs and ears turn white. Then the sides and back of the body. At the beginning of December, the hare is already completely white. It’s bad for the long-eared ones when there is no snow for a long time, and they have already shed their hair. White fur gives them away to enemies.
Bear
The bear spends the winter in a den. The location is chosen to be dry, located in a crevice or rock. Before sleep, the bear eats little to empty its stomach and seal it. During hibernation, the bear does not sleep deeply, dozes, and in case of danger it encounters an enemy.
Fox
With the arrival of winter, the fox changes its fur to a more luxurious one by molting. During the day, she usually sleeps in her hole, and at night she hunts mice and other rodents. Sometimes, due to lack of food, a fox may steal poultry if it lives near a village. In preparation for winter, the fox digs a hole in groves or on the slopes of ravines.
Wolf
The wolf is dangerous and cunning beast. It is not easy for them to live among the snowy forest, but it is possible. In winter, wolves gather in packs to make it easier to catch prey. A pack of wolves a short time can catch and divide a wild boar, but a wolf alone cannot do this.
Squirrel
Squirrels do not tolerate frost well and are forced to hide in the thicket of the forest for most of the winter. The squirrel begins to prepare food for itself long before winter. Actually, a squirrel all year round drags acorns, nuts, mushrooms, and cones onto tree branches. Then the squirrel dries the food on stumps or high tree branches and eats it.
Beavers
The beaver begins preparing for winter long before it begins. It builds a dwelling at water level or slightly lower, and in winter even under the ice. They are warmer there. The dwellings built by beavers are very strong; they bind wood pieces with plants and river clay. Beavers need enough food for the winter, because they do not hibernate, but only reduce their energy.
Badger
In winter, the badger lives in a hole, which it makes in the fall. Inside, he arranges everything with dry grass, leaves, and moss to make it as warm as possible. The badger also stores food at the beginning of autumn. Food for a badger is plant roots, seeds, acorns, and fruits of various plants.
Hedgehog
Hedgehogs begin to prepare for winter in early autumn. They look for a deep hole, at least one and a half meters deep, otherwise in cold winter With severe frosts, hedgehogs may simply freeze and not survive. They insulate it with dry leaves and moss, seal the hole and hibernate.
Chipmunk
Chipmunks spend their days collecting food supplies and hiding them in their burrows to provide themselves with food throughout the winter. Chipmunks eat nuts, berries, plant seeds and even insects. When chipmunks find something edible, they grab it and quickly put it in their mouths, cheek pouches, and then carry it into the hole. Chipmunks live in burrows with intricate passages, which they, depending on their subspecies and habitat, usually dig into dense thickets bushes, near fallen trees or stumps.
Elk
First of all, females with cubs move to wintering, followed by adult moose. During the frost period, moose hide up to their withers in the thickness of loose snow, and during the period strong winds or during a snowstorm, animals hide in a thicket of young coniferous trees. The moose lie down into the wind in a semicircle and freeze in the direction of the trail.
Lynx
By winter, as a rule, the lynx eats up a small subcutaneous fat reserve, which, coupled with thick, dense hair, reliably protects it from frost. Powerful wide paws allow her to move quickly on crust and snow without falling through or hampering her movement.
Mice
In preparation for frost, mice dig main passages and multi-story burrows. Under the roots of trees, as well as in places where the snowdrifts are the largest in winter, they dig holes.
Gopher
In gophers, long before hibernation, an increased secretion of male steroid hormones begins in the body, due to which their muscle mass increases by a quarter. This and also fat layer, allow you to safely overwinter.
Thank you for your attention!

Open lesson on the topic:
"How animals prepare for winter"
in the senior preparatory group
Target: reveal an idea of how animals in the forest prepare for winter, the reasons for changes in living and inanimate nature in the fall.
Tasks: consolidate knowledge about wild animals and the signs of autumn, expand ideas about the lifestyle of forest animals in autumn, and introduce how wild animals prepare for winter. Develop attention, memory, speech, imagination, fine motor skills hands, cultivate curiosity, love for nature and wild animals, and the ability to care for it and its inhabitants.
Progress of the lesson:
I. Emotional mood:
Teacher's story: (music sounds)
Guys, on my day off I walked along the banks of the Bityug River. And there are so many colorful boats on the water: yellow, red, orange! They all arrived here by air. A boat will arrive, land on the water and immediately sail away. Many more will arrive today, tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. And then the ships will no longer arrive, and the river will freeze.
Tell us what kind of boats these are and what time of year they appear?
Children - autumn, boats - autumn leaves.
What is the name in nature for the phenomenon when leaves fall from trees?
Children are falling leaves.
II. Updating knowledge:
It's frosty in the morning,
In the groves there are yellow leaves,
Leaves near the birch
They lie like a golden carpet.
Tell me, what time of year is this poem about?
Children - about autumn.
Using mnemonics
What changes occur in nature in autumn? I will show you the table, and you will talk about changes in nature.
1. The sun hid behind the clouds, it rains often.
2. The day is shorter and the night is longer.
3. The leaves on the trees turned yellow.
4. A strong wind is blowing.
What changes are taking place in living nature?
5. The birds flew away to warmer regions.
6. Animals are preparing for winter.
Guys, what would happen if winter immediately came after summer?
Children - everything in nature would immediately freeze and die, no one would have time to prepare for the cold and hunger.
That's why we need autumn. In autumn, all nature prepares for winter: trees, animals, and birds.
III. Motivation for the lesson:
Letter from the forest:
Oh guys! What is this?

For raspberries and honey
He loves sweets very much.
And when autumn comes,
Climbs into a hole until spring,
Where he sleeps and dreams. (bear)
2. Angry touchy-feely
Lives in the wilderness of the forest.
There are a lot of needles
And not a single thread? (hedgehog)
3. Who deftly jumps through the Christmas trees
And flies up into the oak trees,
Who hides nuts in a hollow,
Drying mushrooms for the winter? (squirrel)
4. Red-haired cheat
Hid under the tree.
The cunning one is waiting for the hare.
What is her name? … (fox)
5. He prowls the forest all the time,
He is looking for someone in the bushes.

Who says this... (wolf)
6. Who doesn’t have a den,
He doesn't need a hole.
Legs save you from enemies,
And from hunger - bark. (hare)
Tell me, what can you call all these animals?
Children are forest animals, wild animals.
Why are animals called wild?
Children get their own food, build a home, and live in freedom.
Tell me about them. I suggest you play. I put animal masks on you, and you name the signs of “your” beast.
Didactic exercise "Choose definitions"
Wolf, what are you? – I’m gray, toothy, scary,...
Bear, what are you? – I’m brown, club-footed, clumsy,...
Lisa, what are you? - cunning, fluffy, red-haired, ...
Hedgehog, what are you? – I’m prickly, small,...
Hare, what are you? - long-eared, timid, cowardly, small...
Squirrel, what are you? – I’m red, fluffy,...
And wild animals have children.
There are many mothers in this world,
And every mother has children.
We must come to the rescue
And find the kids correctly!
Didactic game “Find a pair”
(pair up mother and cubs)
And in this letter it is also written...
Come to the autumn forest,
We will be friends with you,
Have fun and play
We will be waiting for you very much!
Wild animals invite us to visit the forest.
How many of you have been to the forest?
IV. Journey to the autumn forest:
Let's go guys autumn forest and see how the animals prepare for winter.
Going for a walk in the forest today
I invite you to go.
More interesting adventures
We guys can't find it.
Stand next to each other,
Hold hands tightly
Along the paths, along the paths,
Let's go for a walk in the forest.
And forest animals we are with you
We'll definitely find it.
So we ended up in the forest. Guys, let's remember the rules of behavior in the forest.
Children - do not leave garbage in the forest, do not break branches and trees, do not destroy bird nests and anthills, do not light fires.
You also have to be quiet in the forest and not make noise, otherwise you might scare the animals.
I wonder if we will see the animals in the forest that invited us to visit?
V. Meeting with animals:
Guys, look, someone small, long-eared, timid... is sitting under a bush. Have you guessed who it is?
Children - yes, of course, this is a hare.
But he is very sad. What could have happened to him?
The children were scared by the fox, he was cold, there were no carrots...
Let's cheer him up by calling him affectionately....
Game “Say Kindly”
Children - bunny, bunny, bunny, bunny.
How does a bunny prepare for winter?
Children - he sheds and his fur becomes fluffy, warm and white so that the hare is not noticeable in the white snow, and so that the fox and wolf do not notice him. In autumn, the hare does not store supplies, because in winter it gnaws the bark of trees and feeds on young twigs.
So he sat under a bush and changed his fur coat. And when I came out, I didn’t find my friends. Let's help him find friends.
Game "Guess who it is?"
Brown, club-footed, clumsy... (bear)
Small, prickly... (hedgehog)
Tell me, guys, where did the hedgehog and the bear go?
Children - the hedgehog eats mushrooms, mice, beetles, worms, finds a secluded shelter under the roots of trees, settles on dry leaves and moss, falls asleep for the whole winter until spring.
Let's find his hole.
Where's the bear?
Children - the bear also eats well in the fall. It accumulates fat under its skin and hibernates in winter.
Where does he sleep?
Children - he sleeps in a den, drags dry branches and leaves to keep it warm. In winter the den will be covered with a blanket of snow and the bear will be warm.
Why do they say that a bear sucks its paw?
Children - there is a change in the hard skin on the pads of the paws, while the old skin bursts, peels, and itches very much, and in order to somehow reduce these unpleasant sensations, the animal licks its paws.
Let's find his den.
Look, the branches are moving, but there is no wind. Who could it be? Children are squirrels.
How did you find out?
Children - there were mushrooms on the branch, footprints under the tree, a hollow in the tree.
Let's find the squirrel.
Another small furry forest dweller who changes the color of his coat for winter.
The squirrel was red all summer, but by winter it turns gray.
Where does the squirrel live?
Children are in a hollow.
How did she prepare for winter?
Children - all summer and autumn she collected mushrooms and berries and hid them in various places. In winter, she looks for her reserves, but, unfortunately, does not always find them. But in the place where the cones or nuts were hidden, a small sprout may appear in the spring and in a few years a new tree or bush will grow here.
VI. Physical education minute:
The little white bunny is sitting (squatting)
And he wiggles his ears. (showed long ears with hands)
It's cold for the bunny to sit, (stand up)
We need to warm our paws. (stroke hands)
It's cold for the bunny to stand
The bunny needs to jump. (jumping in place)
Someone scared the bunny -
The bunny jumped and ran away! (jump to the teacher)
Guys, who could scare the bunny?
Children - fox and wolf.
This beasts of prey. If they catch a hare, it won't be good for him. The fox has a home - a hole, where she can hide from the winter cold, and the wolf has a wolf's lair.
Do foxes and wolves need to change their fur coats to new winter ones?
Children - of course, they are necessary. In the summer, you and I wear light clothes so that it is not hot, and in the winter we put on warmer ones, so the animals also have to change clothes. This does not mean that they take off their skins and put on new ones, they just grow different, warmer fur.
What is the name of the period when animals change their fur?
Children - this period in the life of animals is called molting.
But the color of their fur remains the same, because they have no one to hide and camouflage from, they are predators themselves. They walk through the forest in search of prey.
Let's tell you how animals prepare for winter...
Game "One - Many"
Not just one wolf is preparing for winter, but many... (wolves)
Not one hare, but many... (hares)
Not one hedgehog, but many... (hedgehogs)
Not one bear, but many... (bears)
Not one squirrel, but many... (squirrels)
Not one fox, but many... (foxes)
And now the bunny invites you to relax and play.
Whoever I throw the ball to answers the question.
Game "Name the Family"
Father is a hare, mother is a hare, baby is a hare
Dad is a hedgehog, mom is a hedgehog, baby is a hedgehog
Papa bear, mama bear, baby bear
VII. Return to the group.
Our journey is over, but look at the mess in the clearing: empty bottles, bags. What nature does not need.
Let's clean up the trash and take it home. Some of them may be useful for our studies. For the winter cold, we will make a feeder out of a bottle for wintering birds, and we will store seeds in bags to feed our feathered guests.
One, two, three, turn around yourself,
And find yourself in the group again.
VIII. Creating a collage.
What time of year comes after autumn.
Children - winter.
Now we know that our animals are ready for winter. And we will send them to the winter forest. (We divide into 2 subgroups)
1. Look at the picture winter forest and place wild animals in your houses. Let's take figures of wild animals and stick them where they live.
2. And here are subject pictures - houses for wild animals. distribute them among your homes.
We carefully pick up the glue and coat the entire animal figurine. When pasted, press down with a napkin. If you have already pasted it, carefully place the brush on the socket.
(The work is accompanied by a musical sketch)
IX. Reflection:
We traveled through the forest, let's check what you remember:
What animals can we meet in the forest?
Which animals hibernate?
Who's stocking up for the winter?
How do animals prepare for winter so that they don’t feel cold?
Why do the hare and squirrel change their fur color?
How does a bear insulate its den?
How does a hedgehog prepare for winter in the fall?
What wild forest animals can we find in our region?
Children - fox, hedgehog, wolf, hare.
And which ones do not live in our region?
Children - squirrel, bear.
Good afternoon, dear readers!
In autumn, you and your children often walk in the park or forest. Have a conversation, tell the children how animals prepare for winter.
Let the child remember which animals are called wild. You can show kids pictures of wild animals, ask riddles, and read poems. For older children, ask them to decide logic problems, read them stories about animals in the fall.
Show the relationship in the world around us - it has become cold, the insects are hiding, the birds are flying to warmer climes because there is no food for them.
In winter, the bunny changes his gray coat to a white one so that he will not be eaten by predators; he will not be so noticeable in the snow.
During the conversation, children enrich their lexicon.
Repeat nouns: bear, wolf, fox, hare. hedgehog, squirrel, den, hollow, den, hole;
adjectives: shaggy, shaggy, angry, hungry, dexterous, strong, cunning;
verbs: howls, gallops, jumps, hides, hibernates, hibernates.
Children need to know: names of wild animals in our forests: bear, wolf, fox, hare, elk, hedgehog, beaver, squirrel;
That wild animals get their own food and build their homes;
- repeat who changes the color of their fur coat for winter (hare, squirrel);
Know where they live:
bear (in a den)
wolf (in the den),
fox (in a hole).
Conversation with children “How animals prepare for winter in the fall”
Late autumn has arrived: sad, rainy and cold. Winter is not far off. Winter is the hardest time for animals. They are freezing and cannot get food for themselves.
Some will sleep until spring in their houses (bear, hedgehog), other animals do not sleep, but make provisions for the winter, insulate their minks, and exchange their summer coat for a winter one.
Who is first?
Most animals begin to prepare for cold weather in the fall, some store food already in the summer. These are mice, chipmunks. They collect seeds, grains, seeds and carry them to their burrows. And then they spend the winter in them.
Let's talk with the children about how a hare, a bear, a hedgehog, a squirrel, a fox and a wolf, and an elk prepare for winter.
First, tell us about 2-3 animals, show pictures, play games so that the child can better remember how animals prepare for winter.
The bear is the owner of the forest
His home is a den. The bear arranges for her in a secluded place, under some snags. He carries moss and leaves there. In winter, the snow will fall and cover the den from above, and it will not be visible at all.
Bears eat nuts, berries, roots, fish, and various larvae. They eat and accumulate fat. In November, the bear climbs into its den and falls asleep. Bears sleep restlessly. If they are disturbed, they may abandon their den and make another.
In the bear's den, babies are born - cubs, 1-2. They are very small.
Foxes and wolves
Gray, angry, cold in winter
A hungry man wanders through the forest. (Wolf)
These predators do not sleep in winter. They also change their outfit and warm up. The animals begin to molt, and then grow thick fur, which helps withstand the cold.
Wolves unite in packs in winter and hunt wild boars, hares, and roe deer.
Look what it is -
Everything burns like gold.
Walks around in a fur coat dear,
The tail is fluffy and large. (Fox)
Foxes hunt at dusk or at night, catching mice, hares and birds. I sneak up on the prey, they suddenly rush at it, grabbing it with sharp teeth. The fox sniffs the snow and looks for mice.
Fox's house? (Nora).
Wolf's house? ( lair).
Another inhabitant of the forest is a squirrel.
Who is in the pines and spruces
Skilfully jumps, bends branches,
He sees where the cones have ripened,
And he carries it into his hollow. (Squirrel)
In summer, this animal wears a red fur coat, and in winter it turns gray.
Where does the squirrel live? (V double)
How does a squirrel prepare for winter?
In the summer he makes provisions: collects mushrooms, nuts, hides them in the forest floor, in a hollow. Strings mushrooms on branches.
The squirrel makes its nest in tall pines and spruces. Squirrels do not hibernate, but very coldy They can fall asleep in a hollow.
Elk
A large animal, a handsome forest creature, wears an ornament on its head - large horns.
The moose feeds on plants and in winter gnaws on the bark of trees. It’s difficult for moose in winter, so foresters often feed moose and deer.
At the end of autumn, the elk sheds its antlers. New ones grow by spring.
Hedgehog
That's why I'm famous in the forest,
Which is covered with needles.
But I'm not afraid of enemies -
I’ll snort and curl up into a ball. (Hedgehog)
Early in the fall, the hedgehog prepares a hut for wintering - a mink. It carries leaves and soft moss in it. Hedgehogs have little food in the fall: it is difficult to find frogs, lizards and worms. Therefore, the hedgehog hibernates.
It will burrow into the leaves, curl up into a ball and sleep all winter until spring, until the sun begins to warm up.
Beavers
Ask the children if they know where beavers live.
Water masters
They build a house without an axe,
The house of their brushwood and mud,
And a dam. (Beavers)
Beavers are amazing animals. They have very sharp teeth, with which they chew through trees. And beavers’ fur coats don’t get wet in water.
Beavers take care of their coat: they comb it with their front paws and claws. And other beavers help comb the back.
In autumn, beavers prepare a lot of branches and place them near hut house. This will be their food for the winter.
Beavers do not sleep in winter. The entrance to their house is under water.
How a hare prepares for winter
Gray in summer.
And in winter it’s white. (Hare)
By winter, the bunny changes his gray coat to a white one. For what? So that it is not visible in the snow and does not get caught for lunch by predators.
In winter, hares feed on tree branches: aspen, birch, and willow. and also gnaw bark.
The hare does not have a permanent home; in severe frosts, hares hide under bushes.
In the fall, the hare gives birth to babies - bunnies. This happens during leaf fall. That's what they call bunnies, deciduous plants.
The hare feeds them and runs away so that predators do not find the hares by the smell. There is enough milk for 3 days. Then the hare returns or someone else’s mother comes running and feeds all the bunnies, including strangers.

Best regards, Olga.
How animals prepare for winter. Part 1.
Speech logical tasks, stories, fairy tales, poems in pictures, experiments, finger theater and dramatized dialogues for children on the topic “How animals prepare for winter.” This topic helps the child not only learn new interesting information about how animals prepare for winter, but also learn see connections in the world around you. For example,
- it gets cold - so the insects hide - so the birds fly south, because there is no food for them.
- The bunny changes his fur coat to a white one so that he cannot be seen on the white snow in winter.
From the material in the article you can easily choose exactly what will interest your child:
- for children 3-4 years old - games, poems, pictures, cartoons,
- for children 5-6 years old, you can add logical ones to them speech tasks, natural history stories. Don’t rush to tell your child as much as possible!
The main thing is that it is interesting for him, so that he does not just listen and remember, but thinks, reflects, asks questions, invents and acts out dialogues.
How animals prepare for winter: experiments, stories, poems, speech logic problems, pictures for children
In the article you will find experiments, stories, fairy tales, poems, logic problems, pictures, tasks for preschool children:
- Experiments for children“Why is a hare gray in summer and white in winter?”, “Which fur coat is warmer?”
- How hare getting ready for winter?
- How bear getting ready for winter?
- How hedgehog getting ready for winter?
- Presentation for viewing pictures and activities with children according to this article.
How to tell your child about how animals prepare for winter?
- Here you will find a lot of materials on the topic “How animals prepare for winter.” This is done so that every mother can choose exactly what interests her baby!
- There is no need to introduce your child to all animals at once. First, introduce 2-3 animals, ask a logic puzzle about them. Look at the pictures. Act out the dialogue between them, in which animals tell each other about their autumn affairs. And then, when the baby has already gotten used to it, introduce him to the next animal.
- You can work with your child using these materials in any order. But speech logical tasks are designed to consolidate children’s existing ideas, Therefore, they are used at the end of a conversation with a child as its outcome, as a creative task to apply the acquired knowledge.
- The article consists of two parts. You will find a link to the second part of the topic “How animals prepare for winter” at the end of the article. Good luck! I wish you new discoveries!
Experiments on the topic “How animals prepare for winter.”
Experiment 1. Why is the hare white in winter?
“Gray in summer, white in winter,” all children and adults know this riddle. Why does the bunny turn white in winter? Even a three-year-old child can find the answer to this question on his own if you show him one very simple and interesting experiment.
- Cut out the silhouette of a bunny from white paper (make sure that the child does not see how and what you cut out, it will be a surprise for him!).
- Place the bunny silhouette on a sheet of white paper. Attach. You can stick it a little with a glue stick. But I do it differently. I use Uni patafix plastic paste. Take a piece of the mass (its consistency resembles plasticine) and attach the silhouette to the background. After the experiment, it will be possible to unstick it. The same piece of mass is used many times and does not leave any traces. A very convenient thing that is sold in stationery stores and online stores.
- White silhouette of a bunny attached to White background. Now everything is ready and you can call the baby to you. Tell him that you have come up with a riddle for him. You will now show someone, and he will try to guess who it is.
- Move as far as possible - to the other end of the room and quickly show your picture to the baby (for five seconds maximum). Who is this? Most likely the child will say that nothing is visible or difficult to see. Show it again, but hold the picture longer so you can see it. It's still hard to guess who it is because he's hard to see? Or did the baby finally find out who it was? Ask your child why it is so difficult to guess who it is?
- Now unpin the silhouette and place it on the green background. Show your child from afar too. ABOUT! It’s immediately clear that this is a hare!
- Ask your child if a wolf or a fox can see a white bunny on white snow? Why then does the bunny change its coat for winter? (yes, in a gray fur coat a wolf and a fox would immediately see him, and a white fur coat protects him).
Experiment 2. Why does a squirrel change its coat in winter?
The experiment is carried out similarly to the previous one, but two squirrel silhouettes are used: silver and red. They are shown to the child on a silver background and on a red background. When is it easier to see and guess who it is? Why does a squirrel change its coat? Let the child guess on the basis of this experience.
Experiment 3. Which fur coat is warmer?
IN cold weather Take two pairs of mittens for a walk with your child - one light pair, autumn. And the other - winter, fluffy, thick. Let the baby put on light mittens first, and then warm ones. Which ones are warmer? Explain that animals also need warm clothes for the winter. But they don’t have mittens, hats, or coats. Where do they get their winter coats from? It turns out that animals molt in the fall and change their fur coat to a thicker and warmer one!
Stories, poems and educational tasks for children on the topic “How animals prepare for winter”
Hare
In autumn, the bunny begins to change the color of its coat and molt. But the bunny does not shed right away. And that’s why hares love to rub against bushes to quickly get rid of their summer fur. If the bunny changes his fur coat, it means he’s ready for winter! A winter coat will hide him from both the fox and the wolf!
Bunny. Alexander Blok.
Little bunny
On a damp hollow
Before my eyes were amused
White flowers...We burst into tears in the fall
Thin blades of grass
The paws are coming
On yellow leaves.Gloomy, rainy
Autumn has come,
All the cabbage was removed
Nothing to steal.Poor bunny is jumping
Near the wet pines,
It's scary to be in the clutches of a wolf
Gray to get...Thinks about summer
flattens his ears,
Looks sideways at the sky -
Can't see the sky...If only it were warmer
If only it were drier...
Very unpleasant
Walk on water!
Question for children: Does the bunny enjoy autumn and winter? Why?
Useful advice: speech task for children. Older children can be told that in the fall the hare gives birth to small bunnies. This happens during leaf fall and therefore they have a very beautiful name. They are called... (let the kid come up with his own name for the bunnies, show word creativity). Praise him for any options, and then tell him what these bunnies are really called. They are called so beautifully - "deciduous plants" !
The hare feeds her deciduous bunnies and runs away, leaving them alone. Bunnies, hiding, sit under a bush. Why does the hare throw them away? It turns out that she throws them away so that the rabbit won’t find her in her footsteps. wild animal! This is how she saves them! After all, bunnies have no smell, and no one can smell them. But the hare has a smell and her enemies can smell her!
The hare's milk is very tasty, and the bunnies have enough of it for three days! And then the hare finds them. Hares feed not only their own babies, but also the babies of others. They feed and run away so as not to attract enemies to the kids!
Read to your baby a fairy tale about a deciduous hare and how he met winter for the first time. From this fairy tale, the child will learn how different animals prepare for winter.
Skrebitsky G.A. Fairy tale "Everyone in his own way"
In the summer, in a clearing in the forest, a little hare was born to a long-eared hare. He was not born helpless, naked, like some little mice or squirrels, not at all. He was born with gray fluffy fur, with open eyes, so nimble, independent, he could immediately run and even hide from enemies in the thick grass.
“You’ve done well,” the hare told him in her hare language. - Lie here quietly under the bush, don’t run anywhere, and if you start running, jumping, traces of your paws will remain on the ground. If a fox or wolf stumbles upon them, they will immediately follow your trail and eat you. Well, be smart, rest, gain more strength, but I need to run and stretch my legs.
And the hare, making a big leap, galloped off into the forest. Since then, the little hare has fed not only birth mother, but also other bunnies, those who accidentally ran into this clearing. After all, hares have been like this since ancient times: if a hare comes across a baby, she doesn’t care whether it’s hers or someone else’s, she’ll definitely feed it milk.
Soon the little hare became completely stronger, grew up, began to eat lush grass and run through the forest, getting to know its inhabitants - birds and animals.
The days were fine, there was plenty of food around, and in the thick grass and bushes it was easy to hide from enemies.
The little hare lived for himself and did not grieve. So, without caring about anything, he lived through the warm summer.
But then autumn came. It's getting cold. The trees turned yellow. The wind tore withered leaves from the branches and circled over the forest. Then the leaves fell to the ground. They lay there restlessly: they fidgeted all the time, whispering to each other. And from this the forest was filled with an alarming rustle.
The little bunny could hardly sleep. Every minute he became wary, listening to suspicious sounds. It seemed to him that it was not the leaves rustling in the wind, but someone scary creeping up on him from behind the bushes.
Even during the day, the hare often jumped up, ran from place to place, and looked for more reliable shelters. I searched and didn’t find it.
But while running through the forest, he saw a lot of new and interesting things that he had never seen before in the summer. He noticed that all his forest acquaintances - animals and birds - were busy about something, doing something.
One day he met a squirrel, but it did not jump, as usual, from branch to branch, but descended to the ground, picked a boletus mushroom, then grabbed it tightly in its teeth and jumped up the tree with it. There the squirrel stuck a mushroom into a fork between the branches.
The little hare saw that several mushrooms were already hanging on the same tree.
Why do you tear them and hang them on branches? - he asked.
What do you mean why? - answered the squirrel. - Winter will come soon, everything will be covered with snow, then it will be difficult to get food. So now I’m in a hurry to prepare more supplies. I dry mushrooms on branches, collect nuts and acorns in hollows. Don’t you store food for the winter yourself?
No,” answered the bunny, “I don’t know how to do this.” Mother bunny didn't teach me.
“Your business is bad,” the squirrel shook her head. - Then at least insulate your nest better, plug all the cracks with moss.
“I don’t even have a nest,” the little bunny became embarrassed. - I sleep under a bush, wherever I have to.
Well, this is no good! - the farm squirrel spread its paws. - I don’t know how you will survive the winter without food supplies, without a warm nest.
And she again began her chores, and the bunny sadly hopped on.
Evening had already come, the hare reached a remote ravine. There he stopped and listened carefully. Every now and then small lumps of earth rolled down the ravine with a slight noise.
The little bunny stood up on hind legs to get a better look at what’s going on there ahead. Yes, this is a badger busy near the hole. The hare ran up to him and said hello.
“Hello, oblique,” answered the badger. - Are you still jumping? Well, sit down, sit down. Wow, I’m tired, even my paws hurt! Look how much earth I raked out of the hole.
Why are you raking it out? - asked the bunny.
By winter, I clean the hole to make it more spacious. I’ll clean it out, then drag moss and fallen leaves there and make a bed. Then I won’t be afraid of winter either. Lie down and lie down.
“And the squirrel advised me to build a nest for winter,” said the hare.
“Don’t listen to her,” the badger waved his paw. “She learned to build nests in trees from birds.” A waste of time. Animals need to live in a hole. This is how I live. Help me better dig emergency exits from the hole. We’ll arrange everything as needed, climb into the hole, and spend the winter together.
“No, I don’t know how to dig a hole,” answered the bunny. - Yes, and I won’t be able to sit underground in a hole, I’ll suffocate there. It's better to rest under a bush.
The frost will soon show you how to relax under a bush! the badger answered angrily. - Well, if you don’t want to help me, then run wherever you want. Don’t bother me with arranging my home.
Not far from the water, someone large and clumsy was fiddling around an aspen tree. “He’s the beaver,” he saw the stutterer and in two leaps found himself next to him.
Hello buddy, what are you doing here? - asked the bunny.
“Yes, I’m working, gnawing aspen,” the beaver answered slowly. I’ll throw it on the ground, then I’ll start biting off the branches, dragging it into the river, and insulating my hut for winter. You see, my house is on the island - it’s built all out of branches, and the cracks are coated with silt, inside I’m warm and cozy.
How can you enter your house? - asked the Bunny. - The entrance is nowhere to be seen.
The entrance to my hut is located below, under water. I will swim to the island, dive to the very bottom, and there I will find the entrance to my house. There is no better animal house than my hut. Let's insulate it together for winter, and let's spend the winter together.
“No,” the little bunny answered, “I don’t know how to dive and swim underwater, I’ll drown right away, I’d rather spend the winter under a bush.”
“You shouldn’t want to spend the winter with me,” the beaver answered and began gnawing on the aspen tree.
Suddenly something rustles in the bushes! Kosoy was about to run away, but then an old acquaintance, a hedgehog, looked out from the fallen leaves.
Hello, buddy! - he shouted. - Why are you so sad, your ears hanging open?
“My friends upset me,” answered the little bunny. “They say you need to build a warm nest or hut for the winter, but I don’t know how.”
Build a hut? - the hedgehog laughed. - This is nonsense! You better do what I do: every night I eat more, store more fat, and when I have enough stored, then I will start to feel sleepy. Then I will climb into the fallen leaves, into the moss, curl up in a ball and fall asleep for the whole winter. And when you sleep, then neither frost nor wind are afraid of you.
No,” answered the little bunny, “I won’t be able to sleep all winter.” My sleep is sensitive, disturbing, I wake up every minute from every rustle.
“Well, then do as you please,” answered the hedgehog. - Goodbye, it’s time for me to find a place for myself. winter sleep keep an eye on it.
And the animal disappeared into the bushes again.
The little hare trudged further through the forest. Wandered, wandered. The night has already passed, the morning has come. He got out into the clearing. He looks - there are a lot of blackbirds gathered on it. All the trees are stuck around and are jumping around on the ground, screaming, chattering, arguing about something.
What are you arguing about? - the little bunny asked the blackbird, who was sitting closer to him.
Yes, we are discussing when we should fly from here for the winter warm countries.
Aren't you going to stay in our forest for the winter?
What are you, what are you! - the blackbird was surprised. - In winter, snow will fall and cover the entire ground and tree branches. Where can you get food then? We fly with us to the south, where it’s warm in winter and there’s plenty of food.
“Don’t you see, I don’t even have wings,” the hare answered sadly. - I’m an animal, not a bird. Animals don't know how to fly.
“That’s not true,” the blackbird objected. - The bats They are also animals, but they fly no worse than us birds. They have already flown south, to warm countries.
The little hare didn’t answer the blackbird, he just waved his paw and ran away.
“How am I going to spend the winter? - he thought anxiously. - All animals and birds each prepare for winter in their own way. But I have neither a warm nest, nor food supplies, and I won’t be able to fly south. I’ll probably have to die of hunger and cold.”
Another month has passed. The bushes and trees have shed their last leaves. The time has come for rain and cold weather. The forest became gloomy and dull. Most of the birds flew to warm countries. The animals hid in holes, in nests, in lairs. The little bunny was not happy in the empty forest, and besides, something bad happened to him: the bunny suddenly noticed that his skin began to turn white. The summer gray coat was replaced by a new one - fluffy, warm, but completely white. First, the hind legs, sides, then the back and, finally, the head turned white. Only the tips of the ears remained black.
“How can I hide from my enemies now? - the hare thought with horror. In a white fur coat, both the fox and the hawk will immediately notice me.” And the little hare hid in the very wilderness, under bushes, in swampy thickets. However, even there, his white fur coat could easily give him away to the keen eye of a predator.
But then one day, when the little bunny was lying, crawling under a bush, he saw that everything around him had suddenly darkened. The sky was covered with clouds; However, rain did not start dripping from them, but something white and cold fell down.
The first snowflakes swirled in the air and began to land on the ground, on the faded grass, on the bare branches of bushes and trees. With every second the snow fell thicker and thicker. It was no longer possible to see the nearest trees. Everything was drowned in a solid white stream.
The snow stopped only in the evening. The sky cleared, the stars appeared, bright and radiant, like blue frosty needles. They illuminated the fields and forests, dressed up and covered with the white blanket of winter.
Night had long fallen, and the bunny was still lying under the bush. He was afraid to get out of his ambush and go for a night walk through this unusually white land.
Finally, hunger forced him to leave the shelter and look for food.
Finding it was not so difficult - the snow only slightly covered the ground and did not even hide the smallest bushes.
But a completely different misfortune happened: as soon as the little hare jumped out from under the bushes and ran across the clearing, he was horrified to see that a string of his tracks was trailing behind him everywhere.
“Following such tracks, any enemy can easily find me,” thought the oblique one.
Therefore, when in the morning he again went for a day's rest, the bunny confused his tracks even more thoroughly than before.
Only after doing this, he hid under a bush and dozed off.
But winter brought with it more than just grief. When dawn broke, the little hare was happy to see that his white coat was completely invisible on the white snow. The bunny seemed to be dressed in an invisible fur coat. In addition, it was much warmer than his summer gray skin, and perfectly protected him from frost and wind.
“Winter is not so terrible,” the little bunny decided and calmly dozed off for the whole day until the evening.
But only the beginning of winter turned out to be so pleasant, and then things went worse and worse. There was a lot of snow. It was almost impossible to dig through it to get to the remaining greenery. The little hare ran in vain through the high snowdrifts in search of food. It was not often that he managed to chew some twig sticking out from under the snow.
One day, while running in search of food, the hare saw forest giants moose. They stood calmly in the aspen forest and gnawed with appetite at the bark and shoots of young aspen trees.
“Let me try,” thought the bunny. “Only here’s the problem: moose have high legs, long necks, it’s easy for them to reach young shoots, but how can I get them?”
But then a tall snowdrift caught his eye. The little hare jumped on him, stood on his hind legs, easily reached out to the young, thin branches and began to gnaw them. Then he gnawed the aspen bark. He found all this very tasty, and he ate his fill.
“So the snow didn’t cause any big trouble,” the scythe decided. “He hid the grass, but allowed him to reach the branches of bushes and trees.”
Everything would have been fine, but the frost and wind began to bother the bunny. Even a warm fur coat couldn’t save him. There was nowhere to hide from the cold in the bare winter forest.
“Wow, it’s so cold!” - said the oblique man, running through the forest clearing to warm up a little.
The day had already come, it was high time to go on vacation, but the hare still could not find a place to hide from the icy wind.
Birch trees grew at the very edge of the clearing. Suddenly the little hare saw that the big ones were calmly sitting on them and feeding forest birds- black grouse. They flew here to feast on the catkins that hung at the ends of thin branches.
“Well, we’ve eaten enough, it’s time to rest,” the old black grouse said to his brothers. - Let’s quickly hide in holes from the angry wind.
“What kind of burrows could black grouse have?” - the bunny was surprised.
But then he saw that the old black grouse, having fallen from the branch, fell in a lump straight into the snow, as if he had dived into water. The other black grouse did the same, and soon the whole flock disappeared under the snow.
“Is it really warm there?” - the bunny was surprised and decided to immediately try to dig a snow hole for himself. And what? It turned out to be much warmer in the hole under the snow than on the surface. There was no wind, and the frost bothered us much less.
From then on, the bunny became quite comfortable with how to spend the winter. A white fur coat in a white forest protected him from the eyes of the enemy, snowdrifts helped him reach succulent shoots, and a deep hole in the snow saved him from the cold. The little hare felt no worse in the winter among the snow-covered bushes than in the summer in the green flowering thickets. He didn't even notice how winter had passed.
And then the sun warmed up again, melted the snow, the grass turned green again, the leaves bloomed on the bushes and trees. From southern countries the birds have returned.
The busy squirrel crawled out of the nest where it hid from the cold in winter. A badger, a beaver and a prickly hedgehog got out of their shelters. Each of them talked about how he spent the long winter. Everyone thought that they had carried it out better than others. And all together they were surprised, looking at the hare. How, poor fellow, did he spend the winter without a warm nest, without a hole, without food supplies? And the bunny listened to his friends and just chuckled. After all, he lived quite well in the winter in his snow-white invisible fur coat.
Even now, in the spring, he was also wearing an invisible fur coat, only a different one, to match the color of the earth - not white, but gray.
Watch with your child cartoon about a deciduous hare “The hares scared the little hare.”
Exercise 1. Discuss with your child what is true in this cartoon and what is a fairy tale. For example, it is true that a bunny changes its coat. But it’s a fairy tale that he changes it like people do. The little hare is molting, not changing clothes! Another example. It is true that a bunny’s new coat does not appear immediately, but in parts. But the fairy tale is that a bunny can “change” into a new fur coat in a minute. What else in this cartoon is true, and what is a fairy tale?
Task 2. After watching the cartoon, play game “Does it happen or not?” You ask a question, and the child answers it either “Trick-Track, it’s so!” or “Trick-Track, it’s not so!” Hyperactive children like to respond with movement, such as tapping their feet and clapping in rhythm, or even jumping up and down when answering questions. Let them do it with pleasure and joy. This only helps the game and does not interfere at all!
Sample tasks for the game.
The first phrase is the adult’s task, the second phrase is the baby’s answer.
- The little bunny changes his coat for winter. - Backgammon, that's right!
- The little hare lives in a hut. -Trick-track, that's not true!
- The little hare lives with the hare. -Backgammon. this is wrong!
- The little hare is friends with the wolf. -Trick-track, that's not true!
- The leaf-faller has never seen winter. -Trick-track, that's right!
Come up with any questions of your own. In this game, children will be happy to answer them, and at the same time we will reinforce the ideas that the child has about the world around him. From my own experience, I know that children love this game very much, they simply adore it! If you play with several children, you can play like this: for a mistake, the player leaves the game and joins the leader. Whoever stayed until the last minute in the game and never made a mistake wins!
When playing with a large group of children, you can introduce movements. To the words “Trick-Trac, that’s it!” - the children clap their hands. To the words “Trick-Trac, that’s not true,” they put their hands behind their backs and stomp their feet to the rhythm of the phrase. Then you will very accurately see who made a mistake and who didn’t!
You can read about how hares live in winter in the article
Bear
The bear also prepares for winter in the fall. In winter he will sleep in a den, but the house - the den must first be prepared! The bear makes a den for wintering under an uprooted tree in a dry place.
Before going to the den and falling asleep, the bear confuses its tracks so that no one will find it. He walks through the forest in loops, walks through the brown forest, through the trees to hide his tracks. If there is someone nearby, then the bear will never go to his den! He will wait for everyone to leave and confuse his tracks!
The bear goes to bed before the first snow, so that its tracks are not visible in the snow. Interestingly, bears go to bed with their heads to the south.
In the fall, the bear needs to eat a lot to survive the winter. Bears love to go to oat fields in the fall and feast on oats. Perhaps your mother is preparing oat porridge for you? This porridge is called “Hercules” because it gives a person a lot of strength. Oats give strength to people, animals and birds. That’s why bears need oats so much in the fall! In the fall, the bear eats not only oats, but also fish, ants, beetles, and autumn berries, so that there is enough for the whole winter.
Before hibernation bears also change their fur coat to a winter one, which is warm, thick, long and fluffy. Only bears have both summer and winter coats of the same color.
The bear does not fall asleep immediately; in the cold winter he sleeps soundly, but in the thaw he sleeps lightly.
Why does a bear sleep in winter? V. Orlov
Bear, bear, what's wrong with you?
Why do you sleep in winter?
Because snow and ice -
Not raspberries and not honey!
Bear. I. Tokmakova
Like on a hill - snow, snow,
And under the hill - snow, snow,
And on the tree there is snow, snow,
And there is snow under the tree. Snow.
And a bear sleeps under the snow!
Hush hush. Keep quiet!
Task for kids: Watch a cartoon with your child - a fairy tale about a bear cub “The First Winter”. Why is this a fairy tale and not a story (in a fairy tale a lot is invented, but the story says what actually happens). Which cartoon is a fairy tale, and which actually exists?
Hedgehog
How often do we see in cartoons a joyful hedgehog carrying mushrooms on its needles? But in fact, the hedgehog prepares for winter in a completely different way!
In the fall, the hedgehog prepares its home for the winter. The hedgehog's house is called a "burrow". The hedgehog strings leaves on its back and then shakes them off in the hole. The hedgehog works both night and day, making himself a cozy house - he carries moss and leaves into it. The hedgehog will make a soft, warm winter bed from moss and leaves! Then he will climb into his hole, bury himself in the leaves and warm moss and fall into a sweet sleep for the whole winter! And he will wake up in the spring!
There is another myth about the hedgehog that he collects apples in the fall for his food. This is not true either! In autumn there are a lot of ticks in the forest, which get between the hedgehog needles and really bother the hedgehogs. Hedgehogs save themselves by putting apples on their needles. The result is malic acid, which insects are very afraid of. That’s why the hedgehog wears apples on himself in the fall!
Hedgehog. I. S. Sokolov – Mikitov
Through stumps and logs, through high overgrown hummocks, through open forest glades, a hedgehog makes its way to its lair.
In autumn, hedgehogs have little prey. Worms hid in the ground, nimble lizards disappeared, slippery snakes and black snakes curled into balls. It's hard to find bugs and stupid frogs.
On clear autumn days, the busy worker hedgehog prepares a warm winter shelter for himself. Night and day, she drags fragrant dry leaves and soft forest moss into a hole under an old stump to make a winter bed.
Soon the hedgehog will climb into his den for the whole long winter. He will no longer run through the forest, catching worms and beetles.
When winter comes, a deep snowdrift will cover his hole. Under a deep snowdrift, like under a thick fluffy blanket, a hedgehog feels warm.
No one will find his lair, no one will wake him up. Until the spring sun, the hedgehog will sleep all winter, and he will have forest hedgehog dreams.
Poor hedgehog. V. Oseeva
The bear is sleeping
The jackdaw fell asleep
The fox was overcome by sleep.
I am not sleeping
I'm very sorry
Hedgehog in the forest
Poor hedgehog
Poor hedgehog.
Doesn't sleep at night!
All covered in needles
Can't lie down
He sits and sits.
He'll lie down on his side - prickly,
My back hurts.
I couldn't stay under the tree all night
Sit without sleep.
How will he put himself to sleep?
I'd skin it off!
Poor hedgehog
Poor hedgehog
How can I help you?
Task for children: Is it really true that a hedgehog can't sleep in his coat of needles? How does a hedgehog sleep? (He curls up into a ball, and therefore is not afraid of enemies. He is reliably protected by needles! And he sleeps on a soft bedding of leaves and fur, he is cozy and comfortable)

About how very tiny bear cubs left without a mother are rescued by people, fed, taught and sent to live in nature. You will see how the cubs get to know the world, learn to eat oats, build dens, and defend themselves! This is a kind of bear “kindergarten” in the Tver region, where the Pazhetnov family, scientists and biologists, works. The video is made with greatest love to nature. Conducts the program famous writer Vasily Peskov, familiar to many as the host of the “In the Animal World” program. Have a good mood from watching! Such videos bring positivity and leave warmth in the soul for a long time!
