Woodland Creatures
Spring is here! The little Woodland Creatures have made it through the long winter and are emerging from their winter dens. They are looking forward to the abundance of summer but for now are searching for what food they can find as the snow melts and buds begin to form on trees, bushes and plants.
The Thornton Burgess Books, such as Old Mother Westwind, are just full of charming woodland creatures that bring the forest to life. Read stories of these forest animals aloud to your children and then begin creating your own Green Forest filled with Woodland Creatures.
You will find stuffed animals to represent Chatterer the Red Squirrel and a little further down his hollow tree.
You will also find a stuffed animal version of Little Joe Otter and the Smiling Pool where Little Joe Otter and the Otter children love to slide and dive.
As you read to your child, the woodland creatures start to come alive. Come into the forest. Let's learn about the woodland creatures...

The Creatures of the Green Forest
Thornton Burgess' Woodlands Creatures
Thornton Burgess first published these books about creatures of the Woodlands and Old Mother West Wind in 1913.
You can now find these books in very inexpensive paperback with large type that makes them easy for Beginning Readers to read.
Most children can read these books by the end of first grade.
The stories are about entertaining adventures of forest animals such as Jimmy Skunk, Paddy the Beaver and White Foot the Woodmouse.
My children particularly loved these books and fell in love with the characters such as Johnny Chuck, Reddy Fox and Jimmy Skunk. We read these tales over and over again, getting to know each of the animals, their personalities and their habits.

Dramatic Play & Imagination with Forest Animals

Children's natural work is to imitate life around them. They use objects, actions and story lines to symbolize the things that concern them. In the process, they are building thinking skills and developing social, emotional and language skills. Dramatic play is a very important context for learning.
Soft plush toys, realistically looking and exceptionally detailed, are perfect toys for dramatic and imaginative play!
Chatterer the Red Squirrel
Great news for all animal enthusiasts! This is a delightful Red Squirrel plush toy makes real squirrel sounds when squeezed!4 points
Bobby Coon
This little masked critter would rather snuggle in your arms than steal food! With a bit of encouragement, you'll have it acting as curious as only a raccoon can be.3 points
Buster Bear
With realistic design, exceptional attention to detail and lush fabrics, the likelife Signature Series is Wild Republic's highest quality plush line. This collectible 14-inch animal is designed by certified naturalists.1 point
Peter Cottontail
The ears tell the tale - this jackrabbit puppet's ready for a race, or maybe a nice cuddle in your arms.1 point
Jimmy Skunk
White stripes beautifully highlight the elegant sweep of long black fur on the hazardous hindquarters of this skunk puppet. With a workable mouth and tail, she can be posed in attack position, but don't worry; scent glands are not included!1 point
Old Grandfather Toad
Mud colored, warty and spotty, this Toad puppet's realistic appearance makes him the amphibian of choice for nature lovers. His floppy legs stretch when he leaps and fold up neatly when he crouches. Animate his mouth for fly catching, croaking or kissing.1 point
Old Man Coyote
He's a trickster in Native American mythology but there's no trick to animating this majestically poised Coyote puppet. Manipulate his head and mouth to make him bay to the moon, nab an iguana for dinner, or prophesy the dawning of a new age.1 point
Whitefoot the Woodmouse
This is a Folkmanis Mini Pet Mouse Finger Puppet. This Folkmanis Mini Pet Mouse Finger Puppet measures 4 inches tall.1 point
Little Joe Otter
Our joyful river otter squiggles with delight when you work its mouth, head and tail with the movement of your hands. This two-handed puppet features handsome chestnut fur and detailed webbing on his leathery feet.1 point
Reddy Fox
Whether reaching for sour grapes or jumping over lazy dogs, this popular figure from folktale and fable comes to life as a puppet when you animate his muzzle. With an unobtrusive entrance for your hand and soft velveteen paws, not even the Hound of the Baskervilles will be able to catch this Fox.
20" long hand puppet
1 point
Johnny Chuck
Whether or not you believe in the weather-predicting capabilities of this infamous animal, you will love this adorable Groundhog puppet. With his overfed belly, cute buckteeth and movable mouth and paws, he'll be a year-round favorite.1 point
Woodland Habitat
The place where the forest animals live
You can increase the feeling of a woodlands' habitat by including a rug resembling a pond, a hollow tree, strings of falling leaves and the Laughing Brook. You might also like to add Grandfather Tree or a Hollow Tree Reading Nook from River Otters or an amazing puppet theater tree like the one at the Seminole Community Library above.
6 Strings of Fall Leaves
Fall Leaves hang from 7' long strings. Leaves have a metallic sheen and come in multiple colors, from golden, bronze to rust. Each leaf has detail and is approximately 3 1/2" long. (Leaves vary slightly from image. Colors are not two-tone and have deeper Fall colors with a metallic sheen.)1 point
The Laughing Brook
Forget vines...planks & tree stumps enable you to cross a raging river. Get up close & personal with gators, snakes, piranhas. This innovative brainteaser game (winner of 16 prestigous awards) is as challenging as they come. The jungle adventure theme makes it compelling to play. 40 challenge cards. A magnet in your feet makes moving the planks a snap. Finding your way all the way across...that won't be so easy! Includes travel bag. Ages 8 to adult.1 point
Hollow Tree: Home of Chatterer the Red Squirrel
This plush Tree House with Friends Comes with Five 7" animals. Animals may vary from Tree House to Tree House but may include Fox, Squirrel, Raccoon, Bear, Bird or Koala. All made with very soft plush. Great for any young child. Great Value for all the pieces.1 point
The Smiling Pool where Little Joe Otter swims
A pond themed rug is perfect for reading stories of Little Joe Otter and the Otter children. Use this rug for story time, circle time or silent reading. Little Joe Otter loves to listen to stories so snuggle with a plush otter while reading the tales of the creatures of the woodlands.1 point
Little Joe Otter and the Smiling Pool
Woodland Creatures at the Pond
Little Joe Otter and the Otter Twins love to swim in the Smiling Pool. You can easily turn you reading rug into a dramatic play center with several stuffed otters in a bin by the rug. Add a few stuffed fish and you will see the children acting out the stories that you have read to them while applying the knowledge of otters and the riverbank habitat. River Otters are just one more of the woodland creatures you find in the northern forests of North America.Photo Credit:Two River Otters Play in the Water

Chatterer the Squirrel and the Hollow Tree
Woodland Creatures of the Upper Story
Chatterer the Red Squirrel and the Hollow Tree is another easily set up dramatic play center. Adding Sammy Jay and Mocker encourages the children to make up more stories with the characters they are learning about in the Thornton Burgess books.I have a maple tree just outside the window where the squirrels love to scurry around and make nests in the spring. The children love to watch their activities so I have paper and pencils there for writing down their observations.
I have a plush hollow tree with a hole for Chatterer the Red Squirrel. Sammy Jay sits on the branch.

Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder
Help the Children get to know the Woodland Creatures
Fewer young people are experiencing the joy of playing outdoors and exploring nature. More and more, children are indoors watching TV or using computers. Rather than running and playing in the wood, discovering woodland creatures, exploring the woodland habitat, children are learning about nature by watching movies or reading about it online.Child advocacy expert Richard Louv believes that such neglect can be harmful to our children. Children need to learn the magic and mystery of nature. They need to feel at home looking under rocks, lying on the ground looking up at the trees and climb to the tops of mountains. He believes that programs like Scouting can help to reverse the trend.

Do today's kids have Nature-Deficit Disorder?
by Sarah Karnasiewicz
- Nature Deficit Disorder Tackled at Camp Filled with Power Tools, Danger for Kids : TreeHugger
- While there are plenty of reasons to be concerned about the lack of free time among children that's leading to nature deficit disorder, there's a summer camp called "Tinkering School" that aims to change all that by letting kids
- Do today's kids have "nature-deficit disorder"?
- Jun 2, 2005 | In the not-so-distant past, kids ruled the country's woods and valleys -- running in packs, building secret forts and tree houses, hunting frogs and fish, playing hide-and-seek behind tall grasses. But in the last 30 years, says journalist Richard Louv, children of the digital age have become increasingly alienated from the natural world, with disastrous implications, not only for their physical fitness, but also for their long-term mental and spiritual heath.
In his new book, "Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children From Nature-Deficit Disorder," Louv argues that sensationalist media coverage and paranoid parents have literally "scared children straight out of the woods and fields," while promoting a litigious culture of fear that favors "safe" regimented sports over imaginative play. Well-meaning elementary school curricula may teach students everything there is to know about the Amazon rain forest's endangered species, but do little to encourage kids' personal relationship with the world outside their own doors. And advances in technology, while opening up a wealth of "virtual" experiences to the young, have made it easier and easier for children to spend less time outside.

- How to Play CAPTURE THE FLAG
- Capture the Flag is a great game for Homeschoolers and other large groups of kids of mixed ages. Gather on the edge of the woods, agree on the boundries and you're all set for a great day in the woods. You might even see some woodland creatures as you are playing.
For more games check out Fun Educational Games.
The Peaceful Woodland Creatures Game
Children love to pretend to be Forest Animals
Use the river rocks for Fung Shui counters. Using natural materials gives a peaceful feeling. Put the flannel board trees around the board. Place the pictures of woodland creatures around the board. Roll two wooden dice and move the stones through the Peaceful Woodlands where they encounter woodland animals. Each time they get to an animal's home they get to collect a picture of the animal. Children work together trying to collect a picture of each of the animals and put them in the photo album before darkness. If you roll a number one darkness begins to fall and you must cover up one section of the board. Rolling a six means that you can uncover one section.

Games to Play in the Woods
Children in a Treehouse
by Inez Topham
Available on Allposters
Play games with your child often. Play builds the imagination. Pretending, or imaginative play , is one of the cornerstones of childhood and not just for the youngest children. Children of all ages need to play. Play is the business of childhood, allowing the children free rein to experiment with the world around them and the emotional world inside them. Encourage imaginative play. Let children dress-up and make their own props. Let children create a world of their own and then join in on the play.

Lessons from Mother Earth
Learn how to care for the Woodland Environment
Excerpt:
As we walked, Grandma talked. "I was taught that if you take more plants than you need, they will never grow back. But if you don't pick any and just leave them sitting year after year, they will slowly wither away and die. To pick just enough is the secret."
"While you're picking, say a little prayer thanking Mother Earth for these beautiful gifts. Be careful, Tess, that you don't trample the bushes, especially the berry bushes. Once they are trampled and broken, they don't grow again."
Linda Ludke highly recommends Lessons from Mother Earth as a good environmental discussion starter for primary grades.
Because of reading this book my children have learned to be more thoughtful and caring of the plants in the woodland habitat. We are starting a journal of various plants we see on our walks through the woods and plan to note when certain plants first come up in the spring, when they bud, flower and produce fruit as well as when they finally die down in the fall. It will be exciting to compare our observations as the years go by.
Tree Rubbing
Learn about the trees that make up the forest where the animals live.
- Bark Rubbing
- Where did each leaf come from? Where do you think that leaf was in the canopy of the forest?
Why are some leaves fuzzy and others not? How does the fuzziness of a leaf affect its ability to hold water?
Why are some leaves pointed like a needle and others flat like paper?
How do each of these leaves capture rain drops?
Are all the leaves of one tree the same? How are they different?
Are any of the leaves discolored or missing a piece? What caused these irregularities in the leaf?
Fireflies, Fireflies, Light My Way
There is just one predictable line on each page making is a very good Beginning Reader.
To extend the story make cards of each of the animals and write their names below each picture. These cards can be used to:
1. Put them in order along the chalk rail to retell the story.
2. Put them in ABC order.
3. As reference on how to spell the words during Writing Workshop.

- I find it amazing that as recess and outdoor time is being removed from a child's school curriculum in the States, it is being focused upon more and more by UK schools. In my youngest's Reception class last year (same age as kindergarten) they spent several weeks studying "mini-beasts" such as snails, worms, slugs, etc.
They also read "The Gruffalo", learned songs about it, and went on a field trip one day to a local country park where the author of "The Gruffalo" read the story to them, then they walked through the woods trying to find him. Our school also has an allotment which the children work on in an after school club, and the nursery class has a wormery and a compost bin which older children help them with.
All kids are outside every day for morning break lunch time recess, and afternoon break unless it's raining. And we now have canopies outside the nursery, Reception classroom, and Year 1 classroom so that they can go outside even if it's raining to play. The teachers make the outdoors a part of their extended classroom - the year 1 teacher turned her outdoor area into a beach last summer for the kids to play in.

- You have such marvelous ideas, and find really outstanding resources, for teaching children. I love your mention of teaching today's children living in a 'housebound' electronic age, that there is a world outside their home to explore, and all they need is their imagination to begin. Combining that imagination with storybooks, games, and plush animals seems very conducive to learning. This story about Creatures of the Woods is a great example. Found this lovely page in the Discovery tool on my new lens, so lensrolling to my Nature-Inspired Plush animals lens.

- Suuuuuuuperior. We live in a rural area and often take time off from "school" to enjoy wildflowers and little critters and birds and leaves and weeds and woods. Studying about animals from a book is fine as a jumping off point, but how much better it is to actually SEE them, or at least see their tracks and scat.
