Late autumn. Wild animals are preparing for winter

With the onset of cold weather animals, birds and insects are preparing to face winter. And everyone in their own way - nature taught them this. Hares, squirrels, roe deer molt and put on warmer fur coats, gophers, jerboas, marmots climb into deep holes and fall asleep. Frogs, toads, newts, lizards, and snakes plunge into winter sleep. The shellfish are freezing.

Do you know where crayfish spend the winter? In deep niches or dug holes. However, they are not in a hurry to winter.

Insects complete their development cycle, hide in shelters, become numb, and thus survive the winter. Ladybugs- destroyers of harmful aphids - crawl into cracks, crevices, under the bark of trees, into moss, under fallen leaves. They often fly into houses, cellars, sheds, and attics. Many insects climb into hollow plant stems and spend the winter there. Some insect pests hide under fallen leaves on the edges of forests.

IN middle lane At the end of September, the country's forest protectors, the ants, stopped working. It is very important to protect anthills so that beneficial insects do not die.

For the winter many animals and birds prepare stern. Hamsters carry grains of wheat, oats, lentils, sunflowers, and flax into their pantries. They don’t refuse potatoes either. For old animals, supplies are located in three pantries, for careless young ones - in one. The hamster needs supplies not so much in the winter (he rarely wakes up), but in the spring, after waking up from hibernation. Sometimes he gets into houses.

Badgers and chipmunks store food for winter. Squirrels sometimes raid other people's property. Thus, nimble squirrels can even drag nuts from the attic of a residential building into their hollow.

In the taiga, a lot of pine nuts are prepared by the nutshell. Jays stock up on acorns and do not disdain small potatoes.

Ferrets, ermine, weasels, minks, martens, weasels, wolverines, foxes, and arctic foxes set up small meat storage “refrigerators.” Of course, such a warehouse is a very insignificant help: the animals have to hunt all winter.

Unlike the friendly spring arrival of birds hurrying to nesting sites, the autumn departure lasts much longer. Our lands are the first to leave insectivorous birds: swifts, orioles, nightingales, then granivores, waterfowl. Only those that can produce food in winter remain in their native places.

A beautiful bob-tailed kingfisher, an emerald bird, takes its time in warm regions. He sits on the shore and waits. But then it fell into the water like a stone and immediately took off with prey in its beak - a small fish or some insect. Such fishermen can be observed near rivers even after the first frost. Kingfishers fish before late autumn, sometimes before snow appears. Cold water They are not afraid - if only there was food!

Autumn is a time of worries, anxieties, joys and sorrows for hunting lovers. It is only important that every hunter is an athlete, a prudent owner: he does not shoot at the wrong time and at protected areas, thought about tomorrow native nature, did not allow the predatory extermination of birds and animals by poachers.

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.

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.

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 conduct 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 refuge under the roots of trees, settles on dry leaves and moss, and 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 hard skin on the pads of the paws, while the old skin bursts, flakes, and itches very much, and in order to somehow reduce these discomfort 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 know?

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, packages. 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 of the 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)

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 it'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 the fall, 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 has changed 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 baby 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 beast! 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 babies!

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 strength more strength, but I need to run, 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 doing 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 almost couldn't 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 that someone terrible was sneaking 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, running through the forest, he saw a lot of new, interesting things, earlier in the summer never seen. 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 went down 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.

How - 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 his hind legs to get a better look at what was going on there in front. 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 look for a place for my winter sleep.

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. - 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 across 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 saw with horror that a string of his footprints was stretching everywhere behind him.

“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 naked 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 large forest birds - black grouse - were calmly sitting on them and feeding. They flew here to feast on the earrings 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 it 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. So 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. The badger, beaver and prickly hedgehog. Each of them talked about how he spent 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.”

Task 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 large group children can be introduced to 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, but 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. Don't make any noise!

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 clearings, 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.
In the clear autumn days The busy worker hedgehog is preparing 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'm awake
I'm really 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)

Beautiful leaves they fly with the wind.

Winter covers the fields with snow

AND blue the earth sleeps.

Now let's play a little.

Game "When it happens."

Children have colored cards. Blue cards mean winter, green cards mean spring, red cards mean summer, yellow cards mean autumn.

Why do you think? (children's answers)

The hedgehog prepares a burrow in the fall, insulating it with moss and dry leaves.

It will choose a place where dry leaves curl up into a ball and begin to roll on them. He will collect the leaves on his thorns, run to the hole, get rid of these leaves and run again.

What does a bear eat all summer and autumn? (children's answers)

Is the bear stocking up for the winter? Why? (children's answers)

So the bear, like a hedgehog, has to eat up and gain fat throughout the cold winter.

Where does a bear sleep all winter? (in the den)

But the bear's sleep is very sensitive; it rather does not sleep, but dozes and hears everything that is happening around. Therefore, there is no need to make noise in the winter forest. In winter, the den will be covered with a blanket of snow, and the bear will be warm in it.

Answer: Wolf

Educator - The wolf is also preparing for winter. Its fur grows over the summer and autumn and becomes very thick and warm. The wolf needs this, because he sleeps right in the snow, covering his nose and paws with his tail. Wolves live in families in winter - this is wolf pack. They sleep during the day and hunt at night. There is an expression: “The legs feed the wolf.” Indeed, he runs many kilometers in search of food. The wolf has wide, strong paws.

Emotional gymnastics “Turn around yourself and turn into a beast.”

Children depict animal behavior: an angry, angry wolf, a cowardly bunny, sly fox, alarmed squirrel.

Invite the children to listen to Bianchi's work.

"How animals prepare for winter." - V. BIANCHI

In the forest, everyone prepares for winter in their own way.

Those who could, flew away from hunger and cold on wings. Those who remained are in a hurry to fill their pantries, preparing food supplies for future use.

Short-tailed field mice carry it around especially diligently. Many of them have dug winter holes for themselves right under the stacks of grain and steal grain every night.

Five or six paths lead to the hole, each path leading to its own entrance. Underground there is a bedroom and several storage rooms.

In winter, voles go to sleep only in the most severe frosts.

Belkina drying room.

The squirrel took one of its round nests in the trees under the pantry. Here she has stacked hazelnuts and cones. In addition, the squirrel collects mushrooms - butterworts and birch mushrooms. She places them on broken branches of pine trees and dries them for future use. In winter, she will wander through the branches of trees and eat dried mushrooms.

They are hiding.

It's getting cold, cold! The water in the pond freezes.

The tailed newt left the pond and entered the forest and hid under the bark of a rotten stump.

Frogs dive and hide in the mud. Snakes burrow under roots and moss.

I'm getting hungry, hungry!

Bats hide in hollows, caves, and attics. They have nothing left to eat; the butterflies, flies, and mosquitoes have disappeared.

The fat badger comes out of his warm and clean hole less and less often.

Ants clog the entrances and exits of their high city. They huddle in heaps in the very depths of it, where it is warmer.

Fish flock in schools in pools and deep underwater holes.

The frost is not great, but it doesn’t tell you to yawn - as soon as winter hits, it will bind the earth and water with ice. Where will you go then?
