VIDEO: Subject "hedgehogs" in kindergarten

When autumn approaches, the hedgehogs are usually a big topic in the kindergarten. No wonder, because it is precisely at this time that you see a particularly large number of hedgehogs making their little nest out of the leaves to overwinter.

Great decorating of the hedgehog theme - some suggestions

• If you go through the subject of hedgehogs in kindergarten, books are of course a very important tool for introducing the children to the topic in kindergarten. Read a lot of hedgehogs' stories, and show them cuddly toys that the children are allowed to touch.
• Build a small hedgehog's nest in the garden with the children in kindergarten. To do this, collect lots of leaves and branches that the children can find and let the children build a great home for the hedgehogs. Perhaps a small family of hedgehogs will settle in soon.
• When you go through the subject of hedgehogs, just do handicrafts with the children using the little animals. All you need is a few chestnuts and a few small branches. Alternatively, you can also use toothpicks. However, you should never leave this handicraft work unsupervised and only let the preschool children in your kindergarten make such a hedgehog. For the smaller children, a leaf from the garden is wonderfully suitable for the hedgehog theme, which they can then stick on. The smaller children can either make a nest out of lots of leaves or they can try their hand at a hedgehog.

How to bake a little cake hedgehog in kindergarten

children in kindergarten love to bake. Take advantage of this very topic to bake a small family of hedgehogs from a simple quark and oil batter.

1. Mix all the ingredients for the quark and oil batter in a bowl. The flour, baking powder, sugar, vanilla sugar, salt, quark, milk and oil are mixed well with a mixer.
2. Now you can take the future hedgehog part out of the bowl and divide it into 10 equal pieces. Each child can now shape a ball from this piece and then place it on a baking sheet.
3. Preheat the oven to 160 degrees with convection so that the children still have time to create their hedgehog while it is heating up.
4. Now the children in the kindergarten are allowed to decorate their hedgehog with small spikes. To do this, you can simply stick small almond slivers into the dough. The children are then allowed to press 2 pieces of raisin on the head, which then becomes the eyes.
5. Now put the hedgehogs in the oven for 20 minutes. Then let the hedgehogs cool down a bit before you and the kindergarten children enjoy them.

When it comes to hedgehogs, there are many opportunities to bring the topic closer to the children, especially in kindergarten.
