This Autumn Nature Hunt Pack is an engaging outdoor learning resource for EYFS and Key Stage 1, designed to help children explore autumn wildlife, plants, and seasonal change through hands-on discovery. Perfect for autumn activities, science lessons, forest school sessions, and outdoor continuous provision, this printable pack encourages observation, discussion, and early scientific thinking.
The pack focuses on familiar signs of autumn such as falling leaves, seeds, fruits, fungi, and animals preparing for winter. Some items are easier to find than others, encouraging children to explore a range of outdoor environments including gardens, school grounds, parks, and woodland areas. Children are encouraged to use all of their senses while exploring and to think carefully about what they notice in the natural world.
This resource supports vocabulary development, curiosity, and understanding of how seasonal changes affect plants and animals. It can be used with individuals, small groups, or whole classes and is easily adapted to suit different abilities and learning needs.
