Peter has lost several buttons on his jacket around Hill Top farmhouse. How many can you find in the picture?Once you’ve found all the buttons, grab some crayons and colour the picture in.

Build a hedgehog hotel

Activity 2

Winter is a great time to give wildlife a helping hand. Why not build a hedgehog hotel so hedgehogs like Mrs. Tiggy-Winkle have somewhere safe and cosy to spend the winter months?

Welcome

1. Turn your cardboard box upside down and ask an adult to help you cut a hedgehog-sized doorway into it. If you want to make it extra cosy, use a second smaller cardboard box to create an entrance tunnel into the larger box.

2. Use dried leaves, hay or straw to fill the box and keep the hedgehogs nice and snug.3. Put your box in a quiet part of the garden and cover it with your waterproof covering.4. Cover the box and waterproof covering with moss, leaves and twigs or logs to help it

look natural and protect it from the weather.

Remember, in the wild, animals choose where they live. So, if your hedgehog house is empty at first, look back in a week or so, and you might find a guest has moved in!
