Who is wintering

Who is wintering informative stories in pictures and tasks for children of preschool and primary school age.

In this article, children will get acquainted with the life of nature in winter and find out who winters how:

Who winters?

Who hibernates how: how do wild animals hibernate?

In winter, many wild animals sleep - they hibernate. During hibernation, they do not eat anything, do not grow, do not respond to sounds.

Before hibernation in autumn, animals accumulate fat. Fat helps them maintain body temperature during long hibernation - it “warms” them from the inside like a stove.

Animals suffer the most in winter not from the cold, but from hunger. It is food that animals need to maintain a constant body temperature and not die.

How do moose hibernate?

If you want, believe. Or don't believe.
There is an elk animal in the forest.
Like hangers horns
Very formidable to the enemy.
Noise in the forest. What happened there?
That runs a huge ... ( Elk).

Elk- this is a forest giant, and he needs a lot of food. In winter, moose live together, gnaw at the bark of trees, rubbing it with powerful and strong teeth. Moose are very fond of the bark of young aspens. They also eat shoots of young pine trees, for them these shoots are like medicine.

Moose rest in winter, digging into the snow, in snow pits. In a snowstorm, moose gather in a herd and go to a secluded place, hide on the ground - climb under a snow coat. Snow falls on them from above, sometimes covering the moose almost completely. It turns out a snowy warm "spread".

In the last month of winter - in February - a difficult time comes for the elk. A crust appears in the forest - a crust on the snow. Moose fall through the snow, cut their legs with infusion, cannot run fast. Wolves take advantage of this. Moose protect themselves from wolves with their horns and hooves.

Ask the children who finds it easier to run in the snow - a mouse or an elk? Why? Read the dialogue of the elk and the mouse, the elk and the magpie from the stories of E. Shim. These dialogues can be acted out in the toy theater or in the picture theater.

E. Shim. Elk and mouse

- What are you, moose, out of breath?
- It's hard for me to run, I fall into the snow ...
- Fi, how clumsy you moose are! Such big ones have grown up, but you can’t run properly.
- Why?
“Judge for yourself: you run light, empty, and fall through at every step. And I run with weight, I drag a whole nut in my teeth, and not a single paw gets stuck in me. I would learn!

E. Shim. Moose and magpie

Elk: - That's no luck, that's no luck!
Magpie: - Why are you unlucky, Elk?
- I thought that the snow in the forest would pile up higher, I would get to the pine trees, bite the tops ...
- And the snow - it poured high!
- What's the point if I fall into it ?!

There is a wonderful fairy tale about moose V. Zotov. Listen to it with your children. You will also find this fairy tale and other fairy tales about animals for children in our Vkontakte group “Child Development from Birth to School” (see the audio recordings of the group, the album “Forest Alphabet”)

Ask the child what he thinks is the moose afraid of someone? After all, the elk is a "forest giant"? Probably, on the contrary, everyone is afraid of him in the forest? And read the story about the moose and their winter enemy - the wolf, the story about how the boy Mitya helped the moose escape from the wolves in winter.

G. Skrebitsky. Mitina's friends

In winter, in the December cold, a moose cow and a calf spent the night in a dense aspen forest. Beginning to light up. The sky turned pink, and the forest, covered with snow, stood all white and hushed. Small, shiny frost settled on the branches, on the backs of the moose. The moose dozed off.

Suddenly, the crunch of snow was heard somewhere very close. Moose was worried. Something gray flickered among the snow-covered trees. One moment - and the moose were already rushing away, breaking the ice crust of the crust and bogged down knee-deep in deep snow. The wolves followed them. They were lighter than moose and jumped on the crust without falling through. With every second, the animals are getting closer and closer.

Elk could no longer run. The calf kept close to its mother. A little more - and the gray robbers will catch up, tear them both apart.
Ahead - a clearing, a wattle fence near a forest gatehouse, wide-open gates.

Moose stopped: where to go? But behind, very close, there was a crunch of snow - the wolves overtook. Then the moose cow, having gathered the rest of her strength, rushed straight into the gate, the calf followed her.

The forester's son Mitya was raking snow in the yard. He barely jumped to the side - the moose almost knocked him down.
Moose!.. What's wrong with them, where are they from?
Mitya ran to the gate and involuntarily recoiled: there were wolves at the very gate.

A shiver ran down the boy's back, but he immediately raised his shovel and shouted:
- Here I am!
The animals shied away.
- Atu, atu! .. - Mitya shouted after them, jumping out of the gate.
Having driven away the wolves, the boy looked into the yard.
An elk with a calf stood, huddled in the far corner, to the barn.
- Look how frightened, everyone is trembling ... - Mitya said affectionately. - Do not be afraid. Now untouched.
And he, carefully moving away from the gate, ran home - to tell what guests had rushed to their yard.

And the moose stood in the yard, recovered from their fright and went back to the forest. Since then, they have stayed all winter in the forest near the gatehouse.

In the morning, walking along the road to school, Mitya often saw moose from a distance on the edge of the forest.

Noticing the boy, they did not rush away, but only carefully watched him, pricking up their huge ears.
Mitya nodded his head merrily to them, as to old friends, and ran on to the village.

I. Sokolov-Mikitov. On the forest road

One after another, heavy vehicles loaded with logs go along the winter road. An elk ran out of the forest.
Boldly crosses a wide well-trodden road.
The driver stopped the car, admires the strong, beautiful elk.
There are many moose in our forests. In whole herds they roam the swamps covered with snow, hiding in the bushes, in large forests.
People do not touch, do not offend moose.

Only hungry wolves sometimes dare to attack moose. Strong moose defend themselves from evil wolves with horns and hooves.

Moose in the forest are not afraid of anyone. They boldly roam the forest clearings, cross wide clearings and well-worn roads, often come close to villages and noisy cities.

I. Sokolov - Mikitov. Moose

Of all the animals that live in our Russian forests, the largest and most powerful animal is the elk. There is something antediluvian, ancient in the appearance of this large beast. Who knows - perhaps moose roamed the forests back in those distant times, when long-extinct mammoths lived on earth. It is difficult to see an elk standing motionless in the forest - this is how the color of its brown coat merges with the color of the tree trunks surrounding it.

In pre-revolutionary times, moose in our country were destroyed almost without exception. Only in very few, the most remote places, these rare animals survived. Under Soviet rule, moose hunting was strictly prohibited. For decades of prohibition, moose have bred almost everywhere. Now they fearlessly approach crowded villages and noisy big cities.

Quite recently, in the center of Leningrad, on Kamenny Island, the guys going to school saw two elks wandering under the trees in the morning. Apparently, these moose wandered into the city during the quiet time of the night, got lost on the city streets.

Near cities and villages, moose feel safer than in remote places where they are pursued by poachers. They are not afraid to cross wide asphalt roads, along which trucks and cars move in a continuous stream. Often they stop at the very road, and people passing by in cars can freely observe them.

Elk is a very strong, watchful and intelligent animal. Captured moose quickly get used to people. In winter, they can be harnessed to the sleigh, as domesticated deer are harnessed in the north.

I have often seen moose in the forest. Hiding behind a shelter, I admired the beauty of strong animals, their light movements, branching spreading horns of males. Every year male moose change their heavy branched antlers. Shedding their old antlers, they rub against tree trunks and branches. In the forest, people often find discarded antlers of moose. Every year, an extra sprout is added to the horns of a male elk, and by the number of sprouts, you can find out the age of the elk.

Moose love water, often swim across wide rivers. Moose swimming across the river can be caught up in a light boat. Their hook-nosed heads and wide branched horns are visible above the water. Wandering with a gun and a dog through a forest clearing near the Kama River, one day I saw an elk “taking a bath” in a small open swamp. Apparently, the elk was fleeing from the evil gadflies and horseflies that besieged him. I went close to the elk standing in the marsh water, but my pointing dog jumped out of the bushes and frightened him. The elk came out of the swamp and slowly disappeared into the dense forest.

The most amazing thing is that heavy moose the most swampy swampy swamps, on which a person cannot walk, can cross. For me, this serves as proof that moose lived back in those ancient times, when the glaciers that covered the earth retreated, leaving behind vast marshy swamps.

How the boar hibernates

In winter, wild boars have a hard time, it is very difficult for them to walk in deep snow. If you need to go through the snow, then the boars go in single file one after another. The strongest boar comes first. He paves the way for everyone, and everyone else follows him.

It is especially difficult for a boar to walk on the crust. The boar falls under the crust, cuts his legs with sharp ice.

At night, wild boars bask in shelters in winter, lie on branches, leaves. If it is very cold, then they lie close to each other - they warm each other.

Boars never burrow into the snow, they don't like it. On the contrary, they try to cover the snow with something - they drag branches under the tree or lie down on the reeds.

Wild boars feed in the winter during the day. They eat twigs, dig out acorns, nuts, grass from under the snow.

If there is no snow - wild boars expanse! They dig rhizomes, bulbs from the ground, dig the ground with their snouts, extract beetles, worms, and pupae.

During the winter, the boar loses a third of its weight! By spring, only "skin and bones" remain.

Listen to how the boar and the hare talked in the last month of winter.

E. Shim. Boar and hare

Hare: - Oh, Boar, you don't look like yourself! How skinny - one stubble to the bone ... Do such pigs exist?

Boar: - Wild pigs ... and not like that ... It’s bad for us, Hare ... The earth is covered with an icy crust, neither a fang nor a snout takes it. You can’t dig anything today, you can’t fill your belly with anything ... I myself wonder how my legs still walk. One consolation: even a wolf would not covet such a skinny and terrible ...

E. Shim. Boar and Fox

“Ay, ah, you’re completely naked, Boar!” The bristle is sparse and even hard. How will you winter?
- How thin you are, Little Fox! Ridge one, skin and bones. How will you winter?
- I have thick fur, a warm coat - I won’t freeze!
"I'm worse, do you think?" I have fat under my skin. Fat is better than any fur coat warms!

E. Shim. Boar and elk

- Come on, Elk, scratch my side! Stronger!
“Shuh-shuh! .. Well, how is it?”
- Weak. Come on stronger!
“Shuh-shuh! .. Well, how is it?”
— I say, stronger!
- Shuh!!! Shuh!! Shuh!!. F-f-w-w, is it really weak?
— Of course, weakly. Here's an insult, you understand: I saved up two inches of fat, and under this fat it just itches!

E. Charushin. Boar

This is a wild pig - a boar.
He wanders through the woods, grunting. Picks up oak acorns. With its long snout it digs into the ground. With its crooked fangs, it tears the roots, turns upside down - looking for something to eat.
No wonder the boar is called a billhook. He will cut down a tree with his fangs, like with an ax, he will kill a wolf with his fangs - as if he would cut him down with a saber. Even the bear himself is afraid of him.

How does the wolf winter?

Guess the riddle: "Who wanders in the cold winter, angry, hungry?". Of course it's a wolf! A wolf wanders through the forest in winter - looking for prey.

Wolves are insidious predators and very dangerous for both animals and humans. Wolves see perfectly even in the dark and hear perfectly.
In winter, the wolf almost always goes hungry, he cannot run fast on loose snow. But on the crust it runs very fast! Then do not run away from the wolf!
You've probably heard the saying, "The feet feed the wolf." It really is. The wolf runs very long distances to find food. They prey on moose, hares, partridges, black grouse. Yes, even moose! If the elk is standing, then the wolf does not rush at him. But if the elk is running, then the wolf pack can overcome it. Hungry wolves in winter even attack dogs and people.

In winter, the wolves grow a thick warm winter coat, the wool becomes warmer. Wolves live in packs in winter: a wolf, a she-wolf and their grown cubs.

That's what once happened to a wolf in the forest in winter.

Tale of a hare and a wolf

Fairy tale "According to Zaychishkin's advice, Volchishche went on a diet: Gray meat, no, no, no, even on holidays." You can read this tale and other tales about animals in the book “Why. Pomuchka” (authors – G. A. Yurmin, A. K. Dietrich).

“The stupid Wolf caught the wise Hare and rejoices:
- Yeah, got it, oblique! Now I'll kill the worm...
“T-t-exactly, p-p-caught,” the Hare is shaking. - But, on the other hand, from the side, you yourself, Wolf, say: only "you will kill the worm." Well, if you devour me, it will make your appetite even bigger... Why would you attack like that on you, on the Wolf: everyone in the forest is full, you alone are always hungry. Think it over!
Wolf furrowed his gray forehead. Indeed, why? And says:
- Since you, Hare, are so wise, so smart - reasonable, advise: how should I be, how can I help grief?
“And you take an example from others,” the hare answers without hesitation. - Take a black grouse, let me show you.
- Look, sly one! Dreaming! I suppose you want to slip away on the way? What more?!
The Wolf kicked a bast from a linden tree, twisted a rope, took the Hare on a leash - and walked off.

They see a black grouse sitting on a birch.
“Terenty, answer me,” shouts the Hare. - Why would you be full all winter?
- Food around - eat, I do not want! That's why it's full. Kidneys as much as you want.
Have you heard, Grey? ... You have all the meat on your mind, and Terenty talks about birch buds in which green leaves sleep. There are plenty of them around. Bend the birch and taste it, don't be shy.
The Wolf did as the Hare ordered, and spitting:
— Ugh, disgusting! No, oblique, I'd rather eat you!
- Do not rush! - Hare oppresses his. And he dragged the Wolf into the Elk - the giant.

- Uncle Prongs! - shouts the Hare. - Tell me, do you live well? \-
- Here I finish the last branch - and that's it, I've had enough, it doesn't climb anymore.
Did you see it, Wolf? The elk gnaws at the aspen all its life in winter, and how powerful it has become! That's how you would. Look how much remains of the aspen torn by the elk.
— Salmon? Wolf licked his lips. - It's for me.
He pounced on a treat, greedily clattered with his teeth, but suddenly fell down - and well, ride in the snow:
- Oh, I'm dying! Oh, my stomach hurts! Oh, bitterness is poison!!! Well, Hare!

You can act out the dialogues of the little animals - how they treated the wolf - in the picture theater or finger theater.

Tales of the wolf

E. Shim. Wolf, elk, hare and hazel grouse

- Elk, elk, I'll eat you!
- And I'm from you, Wolf, in a pure field, and I was like that!
- Hare, hare, I'll eat you!
- And I'm from you, Wolf, in clean bushes, and I was like that!
- Hazel grouse, Hazel grouse, I'll eat you!
- And I'm from you, Wolf, on a tall tree, and I was like that!
“What should I do, dear ones? What to stuff your belly with?
- Eat, Wolf, your sides!

E. Shim. Wolf cub and she-wolf

- Mom, why are we wolves howling at the moon?
- And because, son, that the moon is a wolf's sun.
- I don't understand something!
- Well, how ... Daytime animals and birds love white light, they sing and rejoice in the sun. And we, wolves, are nocturnal miners, the darkness is more capable of us. So we sing in the moonlight, in the pale night sun ...

W. Bianchi. Wolf tricks

When a wolf walks at a step or a coward (trot), he carefully steps with his right hind paw in the footprint of his front left paw, so his tracks lie straight, like on a rope, in a line - in one line. You look at such a line and read: "A hefty wolf passed here."

But that's how you get into trouble. It will be correct to read: “five wolves passed here”, because here a seasoned and wise she-wolf walked in front, behind her an old wolf and behind them wolf cubs.

We walked trail after trail, which would not even occur to me that this is the trail of five wolves. This can only be distinguished by very experienced white trail trackers (as hunters call tracks in the snow).

N. Sladkov. Magpie and wolf. Conversations in the forest

- Hey, Wolf, why are you so gloomy?
- From hunger.
- And the ribs stick out, stick out?
- From hunger.
- And howling what?
- From hunger.
- So talk to you! He worked like a magpie: from hunger, from hunger, from hunger! Why are you so reticent these days?
- From hunger.

E. Charushin. Wolf

Beware, sheep in the stables, beware, pigs in the pigsty, beware, calves, foals, horses, cows! The robber wolf went hunting. You dogs, bark louder, scare the wolf!
And you, collective farm watchman, load your gun with a bullet!

How does the badger winter?

The badger sleeps in winter, but not very soundly. He can wake up during a thaw, get out of the hole for a while, smooth and brush his fur and ... go back to sleep. In his winter "pantry" the badger stores food for the winter - seeds, dried frogs, roots, acorns. And since autumn, he accumulates fat - he eats up. During hibernation, the badger does not eat anything. And the supplies in the "pantry" are needed for the time of his short winter awakening.

E.Shim. Badger and jay

- A-o-o-s-s-s ...
- What's wrong with you, Badger?
- A-o-o-s-s-s ...
- Aren't you sick already?
- A-u-u-o-o-s-s-s-and-and ...
"Aren't you already dying?"
- A-u-s ... Leave me alone, get off ... I don’t die, fefela ... I don’t die-a-u-o-s ...
— What about you?
- Yawning won. Before that, I want to sleep - I would not crawl out of the hole. Looks like I’m going to collapse for good soon ... Until spring, on the side-u-s-o-s-s-s-u-u-u-u-u-u-u !!.

N. Sladkov. Badger and bear

- What, Bear, are you still sleeping?
- I'm sleeping, Badger, I'm sleeping. So, brother, I accelerated - the fifth month without waking up. All sides lay down.
- Or maybe, Bear, it's time for us to get up?
- It's not time. Sleep some more.
- And we will not oversleep the spring with overclocking?
- Don't be afraid! She, brother, will wake you up.
- And what is she - will she knock on us, sing a song, or maybe tickle our heels? I, Misha, fear is heavy on the rise!
- Whoa! You'll jump up! She, Borya, will give you a bucket of water under the sides - I suppose you will lie down! Sleep while dry.

How do bears winter?

Bear in winter they sleep peacefully in their lair, which is lined with needles, tree bark, dry moss. If a bear hasn't put on a lot of fat in autumn, then it can't fall asleep in the den for a long time, it walks through the forest in search of food. Such a bear is very dangerous for everyone. It is called the "rod".

Late winter at the she-bear 2-3 cubs are born. They are born helpless, lie with their mother - a bear on the belly. She feeds them with thick milk, but does not eat herself. Only in spring the cubs come out of the den.

How insects hibernate

By the onset of winter, insects hide deep in the soil, in rotten stumps, in cracks in trees.

Some insects, without invitation, climb directly into the anthill to wait out the cold season in it. Ants at this time fall into a stupor until spring.

Grasshoppers eggs are hidden in the ground in autumn, which will overwinter.

At butterflies - cabbage pupae hibernate. In summer, the cabbage plant lays its eggs on cabbage. In autumn, caterpillars get out of these eggs onto tree trunks, fences, walls, tie themselves with a thread and become ... pupae! So they hang until spring. And the rain is dripping on them, and the snowstorm is pouring snow. Spring will come - and young butterflies will get out of the pupae.

Butterflies - urticaria, mourning, lemongrass overwinter as adults. They hide in the bark of trees, in hollows, in sheds, in cracks in attics. They will reappear in the spring.

G. Skrebitsky and V. Chaplin. Where do mosquitoes go in winter

For the winter, mosquitoes hid in different cracks, in old hollows. They also hibernate next to us. They will climb into the basement or cellar, many of them will gather in the corner there. Mosquitoes will cling to the ceiling with their long varnishes, to the walls and sleep all winter.

Tales of who winters how

E. Shim. Crow and titmouse

- All the animals hid in holes from the cold, all the birds are barely alive from hunger. You alone, Crow, croaked at the top of your lungs!
“Maybe I’m the worst of all?! Maybe it's me "carraul" screaming!

E. Shim. Ukryvushki, khoronushki, showing off. How do animals and birds meet the first snow?

By the evening it was starry, frost crunched at night, and in the morning the first snow fell on the ground.

The forest dwellers met him differently. Old animals and birds shivered, they remembered the last icy winter. And the young ones were terribly surprised, because they had never seen snow.

Young on the birch black grouse sat, swaying on a thin branch. He sees fluffy snowflakes falling from the sky.

“What the hell is that?” muttered the Grouse.
- No, my dear, these are not flies! - said the old grouse
— And who is it?
- These are our coverings are flying.
- What kind of cover-ups?
“They will cover the earth,” answers the old Grouse, “the blanket will turn out warm.” We will dive under this blanket at night, it will be warm and cozy for us ...
- Look, you! - the young Black Grouse was delighted. - I would rather try if he sleeps well under the coverings!
And he began to wait for the duvet to spread on the ground.

Under the birches, in the shrubbery, young Zaichishko spent the day. He dozed half-heartedly, listened half-heartedly. Suddenly he notices - fluffy snowflakes descend from the sky.
- Here you go! - Zaychishko was surprised. - Dandelions have long faded, they have long flown around, dispelled, and then look: a whole cloud of dandelion fluff is flying!
- Silly, is this flower fluff! - said the old Hare.
— And what is it?
- These are our choronushki are flying.
- What are the funerals?
“The very ones who will bury you from enemies will save you from evil eyes. Your fur coat has faded, it has become white. On the black earth you can immediately see it! And as soon as the coronets lie down on the ground, it will become white and white all around, no one will see you. You become invisible.
— Wow, how interesting! - shouted the Hare. - I would rather try how the little coroners hide me!

In the forest, along a bare aspen forest, a young man ran Wolf cub. He ran, looked around with his eyes, looking for a living. Suddenly he looks - light snowflakes are falling from the sky.
- Ay-yy! - said Wolf Cub. - Not like swan geese fly in the sky, drop down and feathers?
- What are you, is it fluff and feathers! laughed the old wolf.
— And what is it?
- This, granddaughter, is our showing off are flying.
- I don't know any tricks!
- You'll soon find out. They will lie evenly, evenly, they will cover the whole earth. And they will immediately begin to show where the birds roamed, where what beast galloped. Let's look at the show-offs - and immediately find out what time
run away for prey ...
- Clever! - the Wolf cub was delighted. - I want to quickly see where my prey ran!

As soon as the young animals and birds found out that it was falling from the sky, only they got acquainted with the first snow, when a warm breeze began to blow.

Here ukryvushki, khoronushki, show-offs and melted away.

How do crayfish hibernate?

Do you know where crayfish hibernate? Read the fairy tale of V. Bianchi to the children and find out :).

What does the expression "where crayfish hibernate" mean?

BUT the expression "where crayfish hibernate" appeared a long time ago. The landowners were very fond of eating crayfish, and it is difficult to catch them in winter. After all, in winter, crayfish hide and hibernate there. Guilty peasants were sent to catch crayfish in winter. Serfs caught crayfish in cold water - it was very hard work. Often they fell ill after winter fishing for crayfish. After that, they began to say: "I'll show you where the crayfish hibernate." And they also say “where the crayfish hibernate” in another case - about something very distant, which is far away, no one knows where.

Where do crayfish hibernate? V. Bianchi

In the kitchen, there was a flat basket on a stool, a saucepan on the stove, and a large white dish on the table. There were crayfish in the basket, there was boiling water with dill and salt in the pan, but there was nothing on the dish.

The hostess came in and began:
once - she put her hand into the basket and grabbed the crab across the back;
two - threw the crayfish into the pan, waited until it was cooked, and -
three - shifted the cancer with a spoon from the pan to the dish. And it's gone, and it's gone!

Once - a black crayfish, seized across its back, angrily moved its whiskers, opened its claws and snapped its tail;
two - the cancer was dipped in boiling water, stopped moving and turned red;
three - a red crayfish lay down on a dish, lay motionless, and steam came from it.

One-two-three, one-two-three - there were less and less black crayfish left in the basket, the boiling water in the pan boiled and gurgled, and a mountain of red crayfish grew on a white dish.

And now one last cancer remained in the basket.

Once - and the hostess grabbed him across the back.

At this time, she shouted something from the dining room.

- I carry, I carry, - the last! - answered the hostess - I got confused:
two - she threw a black crayfish on a dish, waited a little, picked up a red crayfish with a spoon from the dish and
three - put it in boiling water.

The red crayfish didn't care where it lay - in a hot pot or on a cool dish. The black crayfish did not want to go into the pan at all; he did not want to lie on a platter. More than anything, he wanted to go where the crayfish hibernate. And - without hesitation for a long time - he began his journey: backwards, backwards to the backward yard.

He stumbled upon a mountain of motionless red crayfish and huddled under them.

The hostess garnished the dish with dill and served it on the table.

The white dish with red crayfish and green dill was beautiful. The crabs were delicious. The guests were hungry. The hostess was busy. And no one noticed how the black crayfish rolled over from the dish onto the table and crawled backwards, backwards under the plate, backwards, backwards reached the very edge of the table.

And under the table a kitten was sitting and waiting for something to fall to it from the master's table.

Suddenly - bap! - someone black, with a mustache cracked in front of him.

The kitten didn't know it was cancer, thought it was a big black cockroach, and pushed it with its nose.

Cancer backed off.

The kitten touched him with his paw.

Cancer raised its claw.

The kitten decided that it was not worth dealing with him, turned around and stroked his tail.

And grab the cancer! - and pinched the tip of his tail with a claw.

What happened to the kitten! Meow! He jumped into a chair. Meow! from a chair to a table. Meow! - from the table to the windowsill. Meow! and ran out into the yard.

- Hold on, hold on, mad! the guests shouted.

But the kitten rushed across the yard in a whirlwind, flew up to the fence, rushed through the garden. There was a pond in the garden, and the kitten would probably have fallen into the water if the crayfish had not opened its claws and let go of its tail.

The kitten turned back and galloped home.

The pond was small, all overgrown with grass and mud. Lived in it lazy tailed newts, but crucians, and snails. Their life was boring - everything is always the same. Tritons swam up and down, crucians swam back and forth, snails crawled on the grass - one day it crawls up, the next it goes down.

Suddenly water splashed, and someone's black body, blowing bubbles, sank to the bottom.

Now everyone gathered to look at him - the newts sailed, the crucian carp came running, the snails crawled down.

And it was true, there was something to look at: the black one was all in a shell - from the tips of the mustache to the tip of the tail. Smooth armor covered his chest and back. Two motionless eyes protruded from under a hard visor on thin stalks. Long, straight mustaches stuck out like spikes. Four pairs of thin legs were like forks, two claws were like two toothy mouths.

None of the inhabitants of the pond had ever seen cancer in their lives, and out of curiosity everyone climbed closer to him. Cancer moved - everyone got scared and moved away. Cancer raised its front leg, grabbed its eye with a fork, pulled out the stalk and let's clean it.

It was so amazing that everyone again climbed on the cancer, and one crucian even stumbled upon his mustache.

Rraz! - the crayfish grabbed him with a claw, and the stupid crucian shattered in half.

The fish and crucians were alarmed, they fled in all directions. And the hungry crayfish calmly began to eat.

Cancer has healed well in the pond. For days on end he rested in the mud. At night he wandered, felt the bottom and grass with his mustache, grabbed slow-moving snails with his claws.

The tritons and crucians were now afraid of him and would not let him close to them. Yes, snails were enough for him: he ate them along with the houses, and his shell only grew stronger from such food.

But the water in the pond was rotten, musty. And he was still drawn to where the crayfish hibernate.

One evening it started to rain. It poured all night, and by morning the water in the pond rose and overflowed its banks. The jet picked up the crayfish and carried it out of the pond, poked it at some kind of stump, picked it up again and threw it into a ditch.

Cancer was delighted, spread his wide tail, flapped it on the water and swam with his back, his back, as he crawled.

But the rain stopped, the ditch became shallow - it became uncomfortable to swim. The cancer has spread.

He crawled for a long time. He rested during the day, and at night he set off again. The first ditch turned into the second, the second into the third, the third into the fourth, and he kept backing away, crawling, crawling, and still he couldn’t crawl anywhere, get out of a hundred ditches.

On the tenth day of the journey, hungry, he climbed under some kind of snag and began to wait if a snail would crawl past, if a fish or a frog would swim by.

Here he sits under a snag and hears: bull-breath! Something heavy fell from the shore into the ditch.

And he sees a cancer: a muzzy beast with a mustache, short legs, and as tall as a kitten is swimming towards him.

At another time, cancer would have been frightened, backed away from such a beast. But hunger is not an aunt. You need to stuff your belly with something.

He let the crab of the beast pass him by and grab his thick hairy tail with a claw. I thought it would cut like scissors.

Yes, it was not there. The beast - and it was a water rat - exploded - and lighter than a bird, the cancer flew out from under the snag.

The rat threw its tail in the other direction - crack! - and the crayfish claw broke in half.

Found seaweed and ate it. Then he fell into the silt. Cancer put his paws-forks into it and let's fumble with them. The left hind paw groped and grabbed a worm in the mud. From paw to paw, from paw to paw, from paw to paw - and sent the cancer of the worm into his mouth.

The journey through the ditches had already lasted a whole month, it was already the month of September, when the cancer suddenly felt bad, so bad that he could not crawl further; and he began to stir up the sand in the shore with his tail, to dig.

He had just dug a hole in the sand for himself when he began to wriggle.

Cancer faded. He fell on his back, his tail now unclenching, then contracting, his mustache twitching. Then he stretched out at once - his shell burst on his stomach - and a pinkish-brown body crawled out of it. Then the crayfish twitched its tail strongly - and jumped out of itself. A dead mustachioed shell fell out of the cave. It was empty and light. A strong current dragged him along the bottom, lifted him, carried him.

And in the clay cave there was a living cancer lying - so soft and helpless now that a snail could pierce it with its delicate horns.

Day after day passed, and he lay motionless. Gradually, his body began to harden, again covered with a hard shell. Only now the shell was no longer black, but red-brown.

And here is a miracle: the claw torn off by the rat quickly began to grow again.

The crayfish got out of the mink and set off with renewed vigor to the place where the crayfish hibernate.

From ditch to ditch, from stream to stream, a patient crayfish crawled. His shell turned black. The days were getting shorter, it was raining, light golden shuttles floated on the water - leaves that had flown from the trees. At night, the water twitched with brittle ice.

The stream flowed into the stream, the stream ran to the river.

The patient crayfish swam, swam along the streams - and finally fell into a wide river with clay banks.

In the steep banks underwater, several stories high, caves, caves, caves - like swallows' nests above the water, in a cliff. And from every cave, the cancer looks, moves its mustache, threatens with a claw.

A whole rachiy city.

The cancer traveler rejoiced. I found a free place on the shore and dug myself a cozy, cozy mink-cave. I ate more heartily and lay down to spend the winter, like a bear in a lair.

Hare winter he runs around in a white coat, his tracks look like droplets, he is cowardly and hides from an owl, a wolf, a fox. Big sensitive ears help the hare to notice the danger?

caregiver: How does a hare escape from enemies?

I've been preparing stock since autumn, stock mushrooms and berries,

I worked, I was not lazy, they woke me up And the guys invited you to tell everything about themselves, I would call the bear here, but he is fast asleep in the den, And you can’t wake him up.

(children's answers) Hare: And I'm a hare, I'll tell you how I live in the forest.

By winter, the guys turned white, put on a new fur coat. I'll sit down under a bush, hide under a pine tree.

The forest beast will not see, will not recognize me! And although I'm not a coward, I'm afraid of everything, everything! It is very difficult in winter when it is very cold and there is not enough food. And I eat bark, a frozen berry.

Whatever the hare finds under the snow, everything will suit him for the future. Well, don’t hurt the bunnies, you better help them,

Save food for him, don't scare him, don't drive him away. Fox: I'm a fox! I'm not afraid of frost, I dress myself in a warm coat.

The tail is beautiful - I like it the most! I live in the field, I sleep there, I have a rest. I am looking for a field mouse or some kind of living creature. I want to catch a hare, but I can't catch up with him! Probably few people know about this. But it's hard for me in the winter. Sometimes I run all day, and there is no food at all. B: Guys!

It is better not to get caught by them, it is necessary to beware of them. But it is also difficult for the wolf in winter, there is not enough food and he is starving. Q: Why can't children be caught by a wolf in winter? (children's answers)

B: Thanks to Star - the forest man for warning us, now we will go for a walk in the forest.

Corrective physical education: Walk in the winter forest. We came to the winter forest - walking around the room.

On the right, a birch in a fur coat stands - the hand is taken away and followed with a glance. On the left, the tree is looking at us - the hand is taken away in the indicated direction. Snowflakes are spinning in the sky - move the flashlight and look up. They lay down beautifully on the ground - circling squat. So the hare jumped, he ran away from the fox - jumping. This is a gray wolf prowling, he is looking for his prey - hands on his belt, tilts to the sides.

Here we hide this hour, then he will not find us! - they squat, hiding. Only the bear sleeps in the den, so he will sleep all winter - imitate a dream. Bullfinches arrive, how beautiful they are! - they imitate the flight of birds. There is beauty and peace in the forest, but it's time for us to go home - they sit down in their places.

The game "Wonderful bag" - the bag contains: honey, nuts, cheese, millet, carrot, apple, etc. Children get food for animals, treat them to whom it is for, who eats what. Approach the toys and treat them. Correction game: Fold the postcard.

And now, guys, I will introduce you to proverbs about nature.

1. Protect birds and animals and always help them! Q: Why should we protect birds and animals?

Let's imagine what can happen if there are no birds, animals

(children's answers)

2. Whoever destroys nature does not love his land! Q: What does it mean to destroy nature?

(children's answers)

Q: How can you love your land, nature. Reading G. Ladonshchikov's poem "I love birds."

Q: From this poem it is immediately clear that this person is kind, loves nature. It can be said about him with a proverb.

3. Who knows how to be kind, he will be able to protect and love nature. Finishing the walk through the winter forest, I ask questions:

What new did you learn in class? What have you learned? What was difficult for you?

How should we treat the nature around us, animals?

Children leave the forest clearing, winter forest, say goodbye to its inhabitants

We will take the next walk in the spring forest, see what changes will occur in the life of animals with the advent of spring.

How do wild animals prepare for winter?

To survive in these harsh conditions of the cold season, wild animals prepare for winter in advance:

• change color,
• make stocks,
• prepare a home
• fall into hibernation

Hare

In autumn, the hare changes its gray fur coat to a snow-white, warm and fluffy one. On a white tablecloth of snow, neither a hunter, nor a wolf, nor a fox will notice him. “Bel, and therefore whole,” the people remark.

Hare

The hare does not have a house, he hides from the winter cold, burrowing into the fluffy snow under the bushes, making a hole in it. Hares sleep during the day and come out to feed at night. The hare has sharp teeth, with which he, like scissors, cuts the bark from the trees.

Squirrel

The squirrel is a wonderful, graceful, agile animal! You look at her and your heart becomes joyful. By winter, her fur becomes silver-gray, thick and warm. But the main pride of the squirrel is a fluffy tail. She hides with them on cold rainy days, her tail helps her when jumping from branch to branch.

Squirrel

The squirrel lives in the hollows of old trees - they are hollowed out by woodpeckers, and if it does not find a hollow, it builds a nest from thin twigs itself.

Squirrel

The squirrel is a completely defenseless animal. She has many enemies in the forest. On the trees - hawks, owls, owls. On the ground - a fox, an ermine, a marten. She escapes from enemies among thick branches and in hollows.

Squirrel

The squirrel loves to feast on nuts, seeds of coniferous trees - cedar, pine, spruce; berries, fruits of trees and shrubs, mushrooms, tree buds.

Fox

With the onset of winter cold, fox fur becomes lush and warm. During the day, the fox hides in a deep hole, which he arranges in a dense forest.

Fox

At night, the fox goes hunting. In winter, mice - voles - often become its prey. She feels their scent with her sharp scent through the thickness of the snow, hits the snow with her paws and jumps - the fox is mouseling. The fox hunts for hares. He hides behind the golden trunk of an old pine tree and waits for a careless hare to jump out from behind a bush.

Fox

The dangerous enemy of the red fox gossip is the wolf. In those forests where there are many wolves, foxes are almost never found.

Wolf

In winter, wolves gather in packs and walk in a chain, one after another, in search of prey - it is easier to hunt this way. There is always a leader in a pack of wolves. This is the strongest, smartest and most experienced wolf. When wolves howl, they report that the forest area is occupied by their pack.

Wolf

By winter, the wolf's hair becomes thicker and more magnificent, but its color does not change, and remains silver-gray. During the day, gray robbers hide in remote places, forest thickets, in their deep holes - lairs, and at night they go hunting. The whole pack of wolves hunt large animals - deer, elk, wild boars.

Boar

The wild boar is somewhat similar in appearance to a domestic pig, but its body is covered with thick gray-brown bristles, males have large fangs. The eyes glow dark red at night. Wild boars are kept together in small herds, families. Wild boars spend the day on their haul in a remote corner of the forest - they dig up the snow to the ground and lie down on a layer of branches, moss and grass.

Boar

In winter, it is very difficult for wild boars to feed, there is no food familiar to a wild boar - fallen fruits, acorns, worms and insects. Therefore, in winter, wild boars feed very little, they live off fat reserves.

Elk

They are large animals with large horns. They keep in small herds. In winter, they feed during the day, and at night they remain on the bed almost all the time. Moose strongly trample the snow on the site, the hunters call this place "the camp".

Elk

In winter, moose feed on branches and bark of trees and shrubs. Often in winter, from the cold, moose burrow into the snow almost completely, only the head and withers stick out - this way the moose is warmer.

Lynx

The lynx is a rather large animal with tassels on the ears and a short tail. Lynx is a big cat. Lives in heavily overgrown dense forests, where under the roots of fallen trees, sometimes in a low-lying hollow, in the voids between the stones, arranges a lair for itself.

Lynx

The lynx is a predator, preying on birds, hares, foxes, roe deer and deer. Attacks from a jump: from the ground or from a tree.

Bear

The bear hibernates in a secluded den, which he prepares in advance and chooses an inaccessible place. He is looking for a good dry place: in a crevice, a rock, under a large fallen tree, and he warms the house well: it is lined with moss, hay.

Bear

The bear prepares for winter by eating fat. He actively eats everything he finds, especially fish, nuts, but he does this a few weeks before hibernation. Before going to bed, the bear eats little: roots and stalks, so that the stomach becomes empty and the animal can rest calmly in the mode of low food demand. Going to bed, the bear remains in control mode, he does not sleep deeply, but dozes in order to meet the enemy in case of danger. Sometimes he can even leave the shelter to check the situation.

Bear

If the den turned out to be unsuitable for wintering - water gets in, for example, then the animal can go out to look for a new home in the middle of winter, then it is very dangerous, at that moment it is called a connecting rod bear. In winter, the temperature drops in an animal, its fat obtained during the fall helps a lot not to freeze.

Bear

The bears sleep one at a time in their dens, they do not winter as a family, and if a bear has babies this year, they sleep with their mother.

With the onset of cold weather, the vital activity of the hedgehog's body stops, and it plunges into a long hibernation. The main reasons for this process are lack of food and low outside temperature. The hedgehog hibernates without food reserves, unlike many animals, since it mainly feeds on beetles and larvae, which cannot be stored until the winter period as supplies.

For this reason, during the period of activity, the hedgehog accumulates subcutaneous fat so that during the cold period the body has sources of energy for its functioning, and can also normally get out of this state with the advent of spring. The hedgehog hibernates in a shelter specially selected for this purpose. An animal approaches the choice of hibernation thoroughly, since it is directly related to its life.

If the shelter is too close to the surface of the earth, it is likely that the animal will simply freeze. therefore, the hedgehog burrow is chosen as deep as possible (about one and a half meters deep), which is located under a thick layer of litter.

In order to fully prepare for the winter frosts, hedgehogs molt, during which the summer cover is replaced by a winter one, more adapted to this season of the year. To reduce the degree of contact of the body with the air, the hedgehog is wrapped in a tight ball, which allows it to better retain its own heat.

Who lives in the forest deaf,

Clumsy, clumsy?

In the summer he eats raspberries, honey,

And in winter he sucks his paw.

bear

"I walk in a fluffy coat,

I live in a dense forest

In a hollow on an old oak

I gnaw nuts"

Squirrel

What kind of beast in cold winter

Walking through the woods hungry?

He looks like a dog

Every tooth is a sharp knife!

He runs, baring his mouth,

Ready to attack the sheep.

Wolf

-And here is another - a forest beast:

"Higher cat growth,

Lives in a hole in the forest

Fluffy red tail

We all know...

fox

Rushing without looking back

Only heels sparkle.

It rushes that there is a spirit,

The tail is shorter than the ear.

All animals are scared

Saved under a bush

caught in the teeth of a wolf

Hare

The horns are heavy by weight,

He walks importantly through the forest:

He is a host, not a guest -

Gloomy and angry

Elk

This beast with two fangs

With very powerful legs

And with a tortilla on the nose.

He digs the ground in the forest.
