In autumn, the inhabitants of the forest house prepare for winter

Every autumn, the animals in the forest carefully prepare for the difficult period of the year. They prepare food in their pantries, insulate burrows, change summer coats for winter ones.

Who flew away and who stayed

Those birds that cannot feed themselves in winter fly away from our places in autumn.

Most of the seeds fall to the ground and end up under the snow. And many birds feed on the seeds of grasses, trees, shrubs. For some birds, the main food is insects; with the onset of cold weather, they disappear: some die, others hide. Frogs, toads, fish become inaccessible to birds. It is difficult to get mice and other small animals that have taken refuge under deep snow cover or hibernated. So cranes, geese, seagulls are drawn in shoals, strings to warm lands.

Birds that stay over the winter in our forests stock up in autumn. The jay selects the largest acorns and hides them under the moss, under the roots, and digs them into the foliage.

The nuthatch picks up hazel nuts, linden nuts and maple lionfish, drives them into cracks in tree bark at high altitude. Curious stocks are made by little owls. They hide dead mice and small passerine birds in hollows.

Those who cannot fly

Trees cannot part with the trunk and branches for the winter and hide underground. They act differently: they shed their leaves. Leaves need a lot of moisture. And the water in the soil freezes in winter and the roots cannot pump it out. In addition, the leaves in winter would only harm the tree. Branches and branches would break under the weight of snow adhering to them. It doesn’t hurt to lose leaves: there are no wounds on the branches from fallen leaves, if in summer the leaf petioles are firmly connected to the branches, because nutrients move along them, then in the fall, where the petiole is attached to the branch, a special cork layer grows and gradually, like a partition, separates petiole from a branch.

Herbs hide under the ground

These tricksters part with the above-ground part of the plant. The main thing for them is to save the underground pantry - a rhizome, tuber or bulb, in which nutrients accumulated in the summer. In the spring, these reserves will help to quickly revive the stem and leaves.

About the inhabitants of the forest

By winter, the squirrel makes a large, warm hollow, with tow poked into all the walls, squirrel hair and down. In one corner lie dried mushrooms, in another - nuts, in the third - apples. Beavers strengthen dams and repair huts. Bears in dense forest thickets are looking for a place for a den, where they will lie down to hibernate from the beginning of winter. A hungry fox wanders along the banks of rivers and streams, looking out for young inexperienced ducks. Insects: beetles, spiders, flies clog into cracks in the bark of trees and bushes, hide under foliage, winter in dry stumps and snags.

"Chilled" worms and... grain intervention

Moles make deep underground passages and hide earthworms in them: the mole bites the head of its prey and the worms cannot move, although they remain alive, so the mole always has fresh food in winter.

The gray vole, living in the field, stores in its burrows two or three kilograms of grains of wheat, millet, rye, and as a seasoning for this, the leaves and roots of many herbs. And the bank vole harvests nuts, acorns, maple lionfish, linden nuts, and various berries.

What are people doing at this time?

For example, for the tenants of the Charyshsky forestry, and there are more than 50 of them, as Peter Kisly, the forester of the Charyshsky forestry, told us, the autumn time is especially troublesome.

Hay is harvested from July to September, and when the road "gets up" - they are taken out. Almost all of the cattle have already been placed in stalls with the first snow. But the horses continue to graze on the snow, raking it and taking out dry grass. And so on until spring. In spring, the breeding stock of horses is placed in stalls, and the young remain in the forest.

Beekeepers, according to the tenant Denis Kucherenko from the Solton forestry, make bees for the winter with the first frosts, by the way, some bees hibernate in the wild, while others - in omshaniki.

Ekaterina Ivanova, director of the Priobye hunting farm, says:

Both wild animals and we humans are preparing for winter. We prepare food so that during the winter "crisis" wild animals can feed on our sites. If we talk about long-term observations of animals, then most often they change their “clothes” for the winter, there are many features in their behavior. Still black earth, and the hare is already white. The boar's undercoat grows, soaked in sebaceous glands, it will not get wet in winter! Boars live together for years in the same territory and winter here, it is not common for them to make "housing" where they have to - they dug a ditch in the swamp to a warm melted place and this is their home. The elk is also not picky, where the night found, there is his home. Moose have a rut in autumn, call females, scratch their antlers on a tree, thus shedding them. The lynx becomes even more beautiful in winter - the fur coat becomes white. If you meet her, you are amazed, she will never cowardly run away, this huge cat will proudly turn around and worthily retire with her family from your path. But in general, in the fall, animals have a mating season everywhere, and in the spring there will be babies, whoever has how many - a wild boar has up to 15 pieces, an elk has one or two calves, a lynx has one or two kittens.

In autumn the days become shorter and the nights longer. Warm August days are followed by cool September days. The autumn sun no longer rises as high as in summer, so its rays no longer warm the earth. The air temperature is getting colder.

Plants in autumn
The main change in inanimate nature is cooling- entails changes in living nature.
With the advent of autumn, the leaves of plants change color. The trees are preparing for the winter cold. The leaves of maple, birch, aspen turn yellow. The leaves of mountain ash, cherry, bird cherry turn red. Oak leaves become bronze. Old trees change leaf color earlier than young ones.
Gradually begins leaf fall. Before other trees, linden leaves and old poplars are shed. Then the leaves of maples and mountain ash fall. Lilac and birch leaves remain until late autumn, and the leaves of some oaks do not fall off even in winter.
The grass turns yellow and wilts. Only in some places chamomile, celandine, plantain, violet, clover bloom. More and more dark clouds cover the sky. More and more light drizzling rain falls. On rainy days, the sky appears gray and low. In rivers, lakes and ponds, the water becomes colder. Fog often rises over water bodies.

Birds in autumn
Birds do not starve in summer. But in autumn, bugs, butterflies, midges and mosquitoes hide in the cracks, cracks in the walls, under the bark of trees. Ants close all entrances to anthills and prepare for winter sleep.
Already at the beginning of autumn, plants wither, the number of fruits and seeds decreases. Fleeing from hunger and cold, many birds are preparing to fly to warmer climes.
The first to fly away are songbirds, which feed mainly on insects. These are cuckoos, nightingales, orioles, swallows, swifts.
Waterfowl gather in flocks and fly away - ducks, geese, sandpipers, swans.
All bird flocks fly to the same familiar warm countries where they flew to spend the winter in past years.
Together with birds, many insects fly away for the winter to warmer climes. Flights are made by dragonflies, ladybugs and some types of butterflies.

Animals in autumn
Animals are also preparing for winter. Mice, voles, moles, hamsters, rats dug winter pantries. Mice and hamsters fill them with grain. In one such pantry there can be up to five kilograms of grain. Moles and rats carry potatoes, beans, carrots, grains and seeds from the fields.
Squirrels hang mushrooms on tree branches, and nuts and cones are hidden in the nest. One squirrel stores about 15 kilograms of nuts, mushrooms and various seeds.
The hedgehog prepares a warm cozy nest for the winter, in which he will sleep all winter. Snakes, frogs, toads, snails, lizards hid in secluded places.
Badgers store seeds and roots of plants, dried frogs, acorns. Many animals grow fluffy, thick hair by winter. Hedgehogs, badgers, bears lay a lot of fat under the skin. In autumn, badgers increase their weight to six kilograms. Fat for these animals is a winter food supply.
In mid-autumn, the color of the fur of hares, squirrels, arctic foxes changes. In a hare it becomes white, in a squirrel it becomes gray, and in a fox it becomes blue-gray. Such changes in the color and thickness of the fur are called molting.
Many animals and birds can find food in winter - these are foxes, wolves, hares, elks, magpies, crows, sparrows. They are active at any time of the year.

Pets in autumn
Domestic animals continue to graze on pastures in autumn, but with the advent of cold weather and rains they are transferred to special rooms and given top dressing - silage, haylage, straw.
Pets need special care. They are afraid of drafts, so all the cracks in the barns and pigsties are carefully closed. The interiors are whitewashed with lime. This makes them lighter and cozier, and, in addition, lime kills pathogenic bacteria.

Labor of people in autumn
Harvesting continues in autumn. Bread is harvested with special machines - combines.
Potatoes, cabbage, carrots, beets are harvested in autumn.
Farmers know how important it is to fertilize a harvested field. Then the field is plowed.
In winter, the plowed soil will freeze well, weed seeds and harmful insects that have hidden for the winter will die in it.
But autumn is not only harvest time. Seeds of rye and wheat are sown on plowed fields, carrots, dill and parsley are sown in vegetable gardens.
There is also a lot of work in city parks and squares in autumn. At this time, young trees and shrubs are planted. The lower part of the trees is painted with lime to neutralize insects. Whitewashed tree trunks will not be gnawed by hares.
In autumn, fruit trees are well watered in gardens. This helps the trees to endure the winter frosts and give a good harvest next year.

In winter, wild animals have a hard time. Everyone has their own plan for how to survive the winter, they prepare in different ways for severe frosts. Someone is stocking up on food, someone is changing clothes, and someone is preparing a warm home for themselves.

How squirrels prepare for winter

Squirrels prepare for winter throughout the year. They stock up on nuts, acorns, mushrooms, berries, cones, as they eat only plant foods. They carefully dry the obtained food on branches, stumps and put it in their dwelling. Squirrels hibernate in hollows, but do not hibernate. They do not tolerate frost well, so they spend most of the winter time in their houses. Squirrels equip the hollow in advance with tree bark, moss, found feathers, etc. In winter, squirrels change their color from red to grayish, in order to mask.

How beavers prepare for winter

Beavers prepare their homes in advance. They can place it at water level or underwater. To do this, they demolish sticks, branches, which are skillfully tied with algae, grass or held together with clay. The house built by beavers under the ice is warm and safe. They do not freeze in the water in winter, because their fur coat is waterproof. Beavers pre-prepare their food for the winter. In winter, they do not hibernate, but reduce their activity, while being supported by food.

How badgers prepare for winter

Winter for badgers is a difficult period in life, they do not tolerate low temperatures. The beginning of autumn for badgers is characterized by the preparation of housing and the collection of food for the winter. In order to survive the winter, they equip their burrow with grasses, branches, moss, etc. From food, they stock up on nuts, acorns, plants, seeds, etc. They are sensitive to frost. The winter is spent passively in a hole, eating stocks.

How do rabbits prepare for winter?

Hares do not equip holes and do not stock food for wintering. They endure severe frosts on their paws. As a disguise, starting in autumn, hares change color from gray to white. This gives them the opportunity to camouflage themselves from predators against the backdrop of snow. Well, if a wolf or a fox noticed him, he quickly tries to escape. Winter behavior also includes digging temporary burrows in snow or hay. In such holes, he rests and gains strength.

How foxes prepare for winter

Preparing for winter begins with warming your coat. Their coat becomes thick, downy, bright. It perfectly protects them from severe frosts. The fox lives in burrows all year round. Often a place for digging a hole is some kind of hill. So that the fox could survey the entire forest. If she moved far from her hole and a strong snowstorm began, the fox may temporarily settle in another abandoned hole. Before returning to the hole, she carefully confuses the tracks. The fox does not make stocks for the winter, but regularly goes hunting. Most often, rodents become its prey. For lack of meat, she can eat found berries or vegetables. Nature is so complicated that in winter, the metabolism of foxes is reduced. Subcutaneous fat is wasted on warming them in severe frosts. Furry paws allow foxes to move silently when hunting prey. The fox is resistant to severe frosts.

How do wolves prepare for winter?

Wolves endure winter easily. By cold weather, their coat becomes longer and fluffier. It keeps them warm in extreme cold. Often they run out onto roads, trails to facilitate their run. Wolves have a characteristic feature - association in a pack. In a flock, they easily catch prey within a radius of 30-60 km, then eat it together. On average, a pack consists of 7-12 wolves.

How do bears prepare for winter?

With the arrival of autumn, the bear is puzzled by the search and preparation of housing for the winter. An ideal option for a den is a crevice in a mountain, a hole in the ground. He carefully insulates it with branches, foliage, moss, etc. Before falling into hibernation, the bear eats subcutaneous fat at an accelerated pace. This fat is gradually wasted during the winter. In moments of thaw, the bear may wake up for several days and start looking for food.

Wild animals prepare and endure the winter in different ways. Someone lives through severe frosts in motion, someone outlasts them, hiding in their home, while others hibernate. Nature competently distributed features to all animals.

The seasons play a huge role in the life of animals. For them, each season is a period of a certain activity. If a person can transfer his plans or change his lifestyle, then animals are not capable of this. Living by the rules of nature is in their blood.

Spring

How do animals celebrate spring?

Spring for all animals is a period of new life. After a long and calm winter, all representatives of the animal world begin to actively prepare for the onset of a hot summer.

Spring days in the life of animals are accompanied by a change of coat - from winter to summer. Squirrels change their gray skin to bright red. They are increasingly found in parks. Squirrels jump through the trees in search of food.

Chipmunks wake up after hibernation. Outwardly, it can be confused with a squirrel, but the main difference is the five dark stripes on the back. Chipmunks have been stocking up on food since winter, before they hibernate. Therefore, these animals, with the advent of spring, are not puzzled by the search for what they can get enough of.

But bears, also hibernating, do not care about what they will eat after a long sleep. Therefore, in the spring they leave their dens in search of food.

For wolves, spring is the time when they breed. Little wolf cubs are in the den of their parents until such time as they have the sight to navigate well in space. Being small, they are very similar to foxes, only the tips of their tails are not white, but gray.

Hares begin to molt, changing their winter white skin to gray and less warm. Also, raccoon dogs, waking up after hibernation, change their color to a less remarkable one. The color of the coat is of great importance. In winter, the skins are white, which makes it possible to merge with the snow-white cover of the earth if a predator hunts nearby. Gray wool in the summer also serves as a kind of camouflage.

In early spring, hedgehogs wake up, because in April they have to breed.

Summer

animal life in summer

Summer is the most favorable period in the life of animals. Long sunny days, warmth and plenty of food, undoubtedly, delight the animals. At this time of the year they are especially active. They are not yet preparing for winter, but they are preparing their offspring for the harsh period. Therefore, animals are in constant search of food for their cubs in order to saturate them with useful substances and vitamins.

Herbivorous mammals sometimes go out of their habitats, because what they feed on grows everywhere. Fresh juicy leaves allow them to stock up on useful substances for the future.

For birds, summer is a feast, because they can find treats absolutely everywhere. Midges, worms, caterpillars, fish - all this is their food in the summer. Also, birds are assistants to gardeners. They eat all the pests that can destroy the crop.

Despite the fact that summer is the most active period in the life of animals, there is one exception. Gophers prefer to rest on these warm days. And to saturate with vital energy, they go hunting at night.

The most active animals in the summer are squirrels, wolves, bears, and various rodents. Also love this time: giraffes, camels, hyenas, cheetahs, monkeys and many others.

Autumn

Change in animal life in autumn

Autumn is the period of preparation for the winter cold. How they live through the autumn, what they manage to do during this time, their life in the winter depends. Furry, feathered, predators - everyone should take this preparation responsibly, because their own life and the life of their offspring is at stake.

Insects are the first to feel the arrival of cold weather. They begin to build minks for themselves, seek shelter, which most often falls on fallen leaves or tree bark. Here they will spend the whole winter.

Butterflies have their own way of surviving the cold period - they turn into pupae.

Toads, frogs, snakes and lizards are also among the first to hide. Some frogs live closer to bodies of water so that when cold weather sets in, they dive into them and sleep at the bottom until warm days return. But toads, on the contrary, hide on land. Their winter refuge is tree roots or rodent burrows.

Forest animals in the autumn begin to eat often and satisfyingly, because they need to accumulate a supply of substances and fat that will help them survive in severe frosts.

And squirrels, mice and moles begin to stock up on food for the future. They bring as many nuts, berries and cones as possible into the house.

Most animals go through a natural process of pre-winter molting. They again change their skins to warmer and less attractive ones.

Winter

How animals hibernate

As a rule, only those animals that are capable of hibernation hibernate. And those who are categorically afraid of the cold run away to the southern regions.

Animal life freezes in winter. In autumn, everyone prepared for themselves the shelters in which they now live. The cold is not terrible for those warmly dressed in their skins: hares, squirrels, arctic foxes, foxes, wolves, elks and many others.

And some just fall asleep: raccoons, marmots, chipmunks, badgers, bears and other animals.

Mollusks burrow into the mud for the winter. Also minks prepared for themselves wasps, bumblebees, tarantulas.

Newts hide on the shore, in a thick layer of fallen leaves or branched tree roots.

Gophers, hamsters and jerboas prefer sleep in winter.

In late August - early September, ground squirrels, hamsters, jerboas climb into their deep holes and fall asleep.

Squirrel

Almost all children know how a squirrel prepares food for the winter, because all cartoons show how she hangs mushrooms on tree branches and dries them on stumps. She also collects nuts, acorns, cones. Where is the squirrel hiding them? Under the stumps, under the roots of trees, in hollows, in moss.

Squirrels prepare their houses for winter. The squirrel's house is called a "hollow". But if there is no hollow, then the squirrel builds a nest for itself. This is a ball of twigs and pieces of bark with one entrance. Inside the nest, the squirrel puts moss and bird feathers to keep it warm. She plugs the cracks with moss and grass. The squirrel nest is built very high in the tree so that no one climbs into it.

The squirrel's winter coat is silvery, similar to snow. And in the summer - red. How to conduct a simple and interesting experiment for kids, showing a child why a squirrel changes a red coat to a silver one, you already read in the first part of our conversation about autumn. Did the kid like guessing?

Belkin dryer. V. Bianchi

The squirrel had taken one of its round nests in the trees under the pantry. There she has folded forest nuts and cones.

In addition, the squirrel collected mushrooms - boletus and birch. She planted them on broken branches of pines and dries for future use. In winter, it will roam the branches and fortify itself with dried mushrooms.

G. Skrebitsky

Here you are walking in late autumn through the forest among bare, fallen trees. Look, something darkens on the branches of one of them; looks like dried leaves.
No, these are not leaves, but dried mushrooms.
Who carried them to the tree? This is the work of a troublesome squirrel. At the end of summer and autumn, she gathers mushrooms - she prepares food for herself for the winter.

During the autumn, the mushrooms will wither and dry up on the branches, and they will remain hanging there until one of the winter days the squirrel finds them and eats them.
In addition to mushrooms, the squirrel also prepares other food for the winter. She stuffs nuts and acorns into hollows, through wood chips. All this will come in handy in the winter starvation.
By winter, squirrels not only store food: they take care of the insulation of their homes. With the onset of autumn, troublesome animals plug the cracks in the nests with withered grass and moss. Each hole is closed. Well, now everything is ready, you can meet the winter.

Squirrels, chipmunks, hamsters and many other animals store food for the winter.

Beaver

Beavers.A. L. Barto
I've been walking since morning
I ask everyone:
What kind of fur does a beaver have?
What, say, fur?

Is it true that beavers
Build hillforts
And do they hide beavers there?

And rightly they say
That they have carpets there
From fragrant herbs and bark?

I asked my mother about the beaver
But it's time for her to go to work.

I see a janitor in the distance
He sweeps the yard.

Could you tell me:
Where does the beaver live? -
And the janitor told me: - Do not stand in the dust,
Let's postpone the conversation.

Without leaving the game
playing dominoes,
The neighbor laughs: - Where are the beavers?!
Haven't met them for a long time.

Say, be so kind
Can you tell me where the beavers live?

Task for children: Do you know where beavers live? How would you answer this boy to his questions?

The beaver is an amazing animal! It is even called the "Rodent King"! The beaver has a spatula tail and sharp teeth. A beaver can even gnaw through a tree with its teeth! Beavers can swim, and their fur coat is special - it does not get wet in the water! Beavers take care of their coat and take good care of it. They comb it with their front paws, teeth and claws of their hind legs. But other beavers help them to comb the back, because you can’t reach the back yourself! Just like you, mom probably helps to rub your back with a washcloth when you wash!

The beaver's house is called a "hut". Beavers build a house from branches and twigs. The house of beavers is very durable, because all the branches are fastened with clay and silt. The hut can only be entered underwater.

Beavers live in families. In the fall, they have a lot to do - they need to prepare the dam for the winter, repair it, prepare a lot of branches and put them near their house - "hut". This is their "food" for the winter. "Food" they store under water near their home. And they need a lot of food in winter! After all, beavers do not sleep in winter, and they need to eat! In winter, beavers swim underwater and eat the roots of aquatic plants and their autumn forage - stored branches.

Badger

Under the birch on the mountain… Timofey Belozerov
Under the birch on the mountain
The badger sleeps in its hole.
And the badger's hole
Deep, deep.

Badger warm and dry
All day caress the ear
Noise of birch branches
Yes, the sniffing of children:

Sleep soundly on the bed
boys with mustaches
And they snort from satiety
Wet noses...

A branch or bough creaks -
The badger will open his eyes.
A sensitive ear will lead
Smile and fall asleep:

After all, a badger's hole
Deep…

The badger also prepares his house for winter. The badger's house is a hole. In autumn, the badger repairs the house, brings dry grass, moss, leaves and prepares a warm and soft bed for himself for the winter. Just as we have a mattress and pillow on our bed to make it soft and comfortable to sleep, so the badger wants to make his bed soft and comfortable.

And the badger also stores food for the winter, dries it and hides it in a hole. He stores acorns, seeds, plant roots.

By winter, the badger falls asleep in its mink.

Badgers. I. Sokolov-Mikitov
Once there were a lot of badgers in our Russian forests. Usually they settled in remote places, near swamps, rivers, streams. For their holes, badgers chose high, dry, sandy places that were not flooded with spring waters. Badgers dug deep burrows. Tall trees grew above their burrows. There were several exits and entrances from the holes. Badgers are very neat and smart animals. In winter, they, like hedgehogs and bears, hibernate and leave their holes only in spring.

I remember, as a child, my father took me to look at residential badger holes. In the evening we hid behind the trunks of trees, and we managed to see how the old short-legged badgers come out to hunt, how the little badgers play and fuss around the very holes.

In the forest in the mornings, I had to meet badgers more than once. I watched the badger slithering carefully along the tree trunks, sniffing the ground, looking for insects, mice, lizards, worms, and other meat and vegetable food. Badgers are not afraid of poisonous snakes, they catch them and eat them. Badgers do not go far from their burrow. They graze, hunt near an underground dwelling, not relying on their short legs. The badger walks quietly on the ground, and it is not always possible to hear his steps.

The badger is a harmless and very useful animal. Unfortunately, there are almost no badgers in our forests now. Rarely where inhabited badger burrows have been preserved in the deep forest. The badger is an intelligent forest animal. He doesn't harm anyone. It is difficult for a badger to get used to captivity, and in zoos during the day badgers usually sleep in their dark kennels.

It is very interesting, having found holes, to follow the life of their inhabitants.

I have never hunted peaceful badgers, but sometimes I found their forest dwellings. Live badgers were rarely seen. You used to walk from a capercaillie current, the sun rises over the forest. You will stop so that, sitting on a stump, you will listen and look carefully. You will see a badger, cautiously making his way along the trunks of trees and sniffing every inch of the earth. The badger's paws are like small, strong shovels. In case of danger, the badger can quickly burrow into the ground. When badgers dig their burrows, they rake the ground with their front legs, and push it out with their hind legs. They dig holes as fast as machines.

If you have to find live badger burrows in the forest, don't touch them, don't ruin or kill useful and good-natured animals. The badger has become a very rare animal in our forests. It is not difficult to completely destroy this beast.

mouse

The mouse prepared her pantry for the winter and filled it with grain. Sometimes the mice make their pantry right on the field and carry grains into it every night. The mouse hole has multiple entrances and contains a "bedroom" and several "storage rooms". In winter, the mouse sleeps only in cold weather, and on the rest of the days she needs to eat, which is why she stores so much food! Here is how Vitaly Bianchi writes about this:

Getting ready for winter. W. Bianchi.
The frost is not great, but it does not allow you to yawn: as soon as it strikes, the earth and water will be covered with ice at once. Where will you get your food then? Where will you hide?
In the forest, everyone prepares for winter in their own way.

Whoever is supposed to fly away from hunger and cold on wings. Those who are left are in a hurry to fill their pantries, preparing food supplies for the future. Especially diligently dragging her short-tailed mice-voles. Many of them dug their winter holes right in the stacks and under the stacks of bread and steal grain every night.
Five or six paths lead to the hole, each path leading to its own entrance. Below ground is a bedroom and several storage rooms.

In winter, voles are going to sleep only in the most severe frosts. Therefore, they make large stocks of bread. In some burrows, four or five kilograms of selected grain have already been collected.
Small rodents rob grain fields. We must protect our crops from them.

Fox and wolf

The fox has already grown her foxes by autumn, so she does not sit in a hole. But if danger threatens, then the fox runs to his house and hides. The fox's hole is at the edge of the forest on a hill, so that the fox can see the forest from all sides. The fox is very smart, she never runs straight to the hole, first she makes a loop to confuse her tracks, and then she hides in the hole.

The fox is a predator, it does not sleep in winter and does not make reserves for the winter, like a wolf.

But now the fox and the wolf are preparing a fur coat for winter. Their hair, like all animals, grows and becomes very warm and fluffy so that it is not cold in winter.

Speech exercises on the topic "How do animals prepare for winter?". Playing with words

The game "Where is whose house?". Guess how to proceed

Lives in a den...
Can live in a hole...
Lives in a hut...
Lives in a hollow...
Lives under a bush...

If the kid is wrong, then you can play a game called "Help the kids find a home." Little animals got lost and lost their houses. Where are their mothers waiting for them? Where should the squirrel be taken? Where is the bunny? Where is the mother bear waiting for the baby? And where is the papa beaver waiting for the beaver? Where should the badger go? And where is the hedgehog? In the game, the baby will quickly remember who lives where. For the game, you can use toys or pictures.

"Continue the offer"

In the winter forest you will never meet ...
In the winter forest you can meet ...
Change coats in autumn...
Hedgehog in autumn...

"Name the animals affectionately."

Squirrel - squirrel,
fox - ... (chanterelle),
bear - (bear, bear),
hare - ... (bunny, hare, hare),
hedgehog - ... (hedgehog).

The game "Let's build a bridge. The longest sentence about autumn "

Take chips. Any small objects can act as chips: pencils, cones, buttons, shells, pebbles, blocks of building material or designer parts. You can cut out squares from thick colored cardboard. One chip is one word. Lay out one chip and name one word. For example, "hedgehog". The child lays out the second chip and calls the second word, attaching it to the first: "Running." "The hedgehog is running." You lay out the third chip and call the third word. You can name two words if the preposition is used: “Through the forest. The hedgehog runs through the forest. But each word is one chip! Ask the child: “What is this word? It's the word "by". And this word is "forest". Together it turned out: through the forest. Next, the child adds his word. For example, "Autumn". It has already turned out such a proposal: "The hedgehog runs through the autumn forest" and you have laid out 5 chips. Keep expanding this offer as much as you can. For example, your final result may look like this: "A prickly cheerful hedgehog runs through the autumn golden forest and carries dry leaves on its back." The rule is that one word is used only once in a sentence so that it doesn’t turn out “butter oil” 🙂

I usually use a game version of this exercise. The children and I "build a bridge" from one side of the river to the other of our chips.

On the old wallpaper we draw two banks through which we need to build a bridge. You can draw "shores" with chalk on linoleum or lay out strings.
We discuss why this bridge is needed. For example, a kid lost his way, he needs to go home, but he cannot swim across the river. If we build a bridge of words, he will cross it. But the bridge needs a long one, so we need a lot of words!
We build a bridge of words, that is, we make a sentence. And at the same time, we get acquainted with the term “sentence”, learn to select beautiful figurative expressions and build complex sentences in our speech!
When the bridge is ready, our hero runs merrily along it to his mother.
It is possible to build sentences - bridges with any words and in any game situation: the car needs to drive to the other side, Aibolit needs to go to the sick bear, etc. You can build not a bridge, but a road.

How to conduct an animal dialogue in the autumn forest - dramatization with a child

The animals gathered in a forest clearing and began to tell each other about their affairs. “I will spend the winter in a hollow,” said the squirrel. “And for the winter I saved food for myself - dried mushrooms, collected nuts and acorns.”

“And I, I will sleep in a den,” the bear said in a bass voice. “Now I need to eat a lot of food so that I can sleep peacefully all winter. I don't need food in winter. I have prepared a lair for myself. I will sleep in it in winter.

Play out this conversation with your child and continue it on behalf of different animals. You can enter other characters - birds and insects. Let the birds tell how they are going to fly to distant lands, and let the insects tell how they hide in cracks and under the bark from cold and frost. Each character tells from himself, about his autumn affairs, about how he prepared for the winter.

For dialogues, you can use toys - a bunny, a fox, a bear, a mouse, a squirrel. You can cut out the silhouettes of animals or use pictures. Playing the dialogue of animals, the child consolidates the knowledge gained about the natural world in an interesting and exciting way. And what is more important - the kid learns to apply the acquired knowledge in life! This is much better and more effective than “tormenting” the child with questions: “How did the hare prepare for winter? Remember how the badger prepared for winter? Remember ... ”The child will remember, and in a few days ... will forget! But the information that the child used in the game, he will never forget! After all, it was lived and felt by him, it was interesting and emotional, it was so bright and exciting! Play and develop your baby in the game! And success will be guaranteed!

Children are very fond of playing out such dialogues of animals with the help of a finger theater. Finger theater does not have to be bought or sewn or knitted. You can quickly make it from improvised materials available in every home.

How easy it is to make a finger theater on the topic "How animals prepare for winter"

Draw the animals yourself or print out the finished pictures and stick each one on a thin strip of thick cardboard. The width of the strip is approximately 1 cm. Length 7-8 cm. You can color the pictures, or you can leave them as they are - black and white. Coloring pictures with colored pencils is very useful for a child. This develops fine motor skills, so you can involve the baby in this business. After all, preparing toys for your future game is always interesting for a child!
Take a strip of cardboard 3-4 cm wide and about 8-10 cm long. Glue a "ring" out of it with adhesive tape on the child's finger. The exact size of the part depends on the size of the child's finger - the "ring" should be freely put on and removed from it, but it should not fall off the finger.
Insert the finished strip of cardboard with the image of the animal glued to it inside the “ring” and put it on your finger. You can change characters by inserting them into the "ring" and taking them out. It turns out finger theater.
In this finger theater, one child can either play the role of one animal or play several roles. Each animal talks about how it prepared for winter.
To conduct a dialogue - a game, the baby will need your help. Take on one of the roles, ask questions, suggest new stories and topics for discussion!

Plots for the game - dramatizations with children on the topic

How Animals Prepare for Winter

As a basis for such a dramatization by children of a dialogue between animals, you can take a folk song.

Shadow-shadow-sweat,
Above the city is a wattle fence,
The animals sat on the wattle fence,
Boasted all day.

For older children 5-7 years old, the story of Nikolai Sladkov can be taken as the basis for dramatizing the dialogue of animals. Let the raven ask questions to the animals, and they answer him. At first, mom can take on the role of a crow and ask questions to the little animals about how they are preparing for winter. Then switch roles. Each time change the composition of the animals that answer Raven's question.

A fairy tale for children about autumn by Nikolai Sladkov

- Inhabitants of the forest! cried the wise Raven one morning. - Autumn at the forest threshold, is everyone ready for its arrival?
Like an echo, voices came from the forest:
Ready, ready, ready...
"Now we'll check it out!" Raven croaked. - First of all, autumn will let the cold into the forest - what will you do?

Animals responded:
- We, squirrels, hares, foxes, will change into winter coats!
- We, badgers, raccoons, will hide in warm holes!
- We, hedgehogs, bats, will sleep soundly!

Birds responded:
- We, migratory, will fly away to warm lands!
- We, settled, put on downy padded jackets!

“Secondly,” Raven shouts, “autumn will begin to rip off the leaves from the trees!”
- Let it rip off! the birds responded. - The berries will be more visible!
- Let it rip off! the animals responded. - It will be quieter in the forest!
“Third thing,” the Raven does not let up, “the autumn of the last insects will snap with frost!”

Birds responded:
- And we, thrushes, will fall on the mountain ash!
- And we, woodpeckers, will begin to peel the cones!
- And we, goldfinches, will take on the weeds!

Animals responded:
- And we will sleep more peacefully without mosquitoes!
- The fourth thing, - Raven buzzes, - autumn will pester with boredom! It will overtake gloomy clouds, let in tedious rains, nauseka dreary winds. The day will shorten, the sun will hide in your bosom!
- Let him pester himself! birds and animals responded in unison. - We will not get bored! What do we need rains and winds when we are in fur coats and down jackets! We will be full - we will not get bored!

The wise Raven wanted to ask something else, but waved his wing and took off.
It flies, and under it is a forest, multi-colored, motley - autumn.
Autumn has already crossed the threshold. But it didn't scare anyone.
