This Spring Nature Hunt Pack is an engaging outdoor learning resource for EYFS and Key Stage 1, designed to help children explore seasonal change, wildlife, and nature through hands-on discovery. Perfect for spring activities, science lessons, forest school, and continuous provision, this printable pack encourages observation, discussion, and early scientific thinking.
The pack focuses on common signs of spring, helping children to notice new life, plant growth, and increased animal activity. Some items are easier to find than others, encouraging exploration across different habitats such as gardens, school grounds, parks, and woodland areas. Children are prompted to use all of their senses while exploring and to think about what they can see, where it appears, when it is most likely to be found, and why it appears in spring.
This resource supports vocabulary development, curiosity about the natural world, and understanding of how seasonal changes affect plants and animals. It can be used with whole classes, small groups, or individual learners, making it suitable for a wide range of learning contexts.
