Woodland Ways
My name is Paul and I am an illustrator and teacher. Today I will be sharing activities linked to the story I illustrated for the author Dotty Bretton, ‘Woodland Ways’. There is a special reading of the story by Ned Bretton-Cannings. Look out for some fun outdoor activities linked to the story.
Colouring
Colour in the woodland ways picture using the pdf.
I’ve created the front cover of the book without colour so that it links well to the book. As your child colours the picture, re-tell the story together. What did you like best about the story?
This supports children’s creativity and language and communication.
Make a Bug Hotel
Using branches, leaves and other natural objects create a bug hotel.
I’ve created the front cover of the book without colour so that it links well to the book. As your child colours the picture, re-tell the story together. What did you like best about the story?
This supports children’s creativity and language and communication.
Clean Your Forest
With your grown up, using the correct tools (litter picker, gloves and plastic bag) clean up your forest, making your woodland ways beautiful.
This supports children’s knowledge and understanding of how to look after their environment.
