Description
Mark your stone using a permanent marker, perhaps write your name or draw a smiley face on it.
Step 1
Hide your stone somewhere in the woodland floor, just like a squirrel would hide acorns in the Autumn. After a period of time, see if you can find your stone again – if you were a squirrel hunting for its acorns in the Winter would you have gone hungry?
Step 2
Mark your stone using a permanent marker, perhaps write your name or draw a smiley face on it.
Step 3
Use the stones to talk about relationships. Can the stones be kind to one another? Do they look after each other? Do they argue? This can be a great way for a child to express how they feel about certain relationships.
You will need
A permanent marker, small stones.
Try
Why not collect and mark a selection of stones and hide them around the area. How many can you find?
Did you know?
Squirrels only find 26% of the acorns they bury. The acorns that they never find often sprout and grow into new oak trees.
