Curious magnet
The hedgehog found a magnet! Drag the magnet to the things, or tap them: some stick to the magnet and others don't. Pick up everything that sticks.
- 3
Shake the sieve
The hedgehog wants to sift the garden soil. Drag your finger back and forth on the sieve: small things fall through the little holes, big things stay.
- 4
Things column
Now there are more things. Tap each one to mark that you counted it and color in the right column for each one.
- 5
Rocks that stay
Shake the sieve until all the small things fall through. Then count how many big things stayed on top.
4 and 5 year olds
More pieces that look alike, asking for attention and memory.
- 6
What sticks
Before testing, think: what will stick to the magnet? Tap the things you think will stick. Then the magnet goes over all of them and shows if you were right.
- 7
Garden chart
Make a chart of what the hedgehog found. The tallest column shows what there is the most of. Then answer by looking at the chart.
- 8
What stays in the sieve
Think before you shake: what is too big to pass through the little holes? Tap what will stay in the sieve and then shake to check.
- 9
Magnet and count
Move the magnet over everything and pick up what sticks. At the end, count how many things are hanging on the magnet.
5 and 6 year olds
Bigger challenges and the party that reviews everything the child learned.
- 10
How many in all
Make the chart and then put the columns together: how many things did the hedgehog find in all? Count the pictures in all the columns together.
- 11
Big-hole sieve
Now there are small, medium and big things. In the big-hole sieve, only what is bigger than the hole stays on top. Compare the sizes before you shake!
- 12
Burrow party
Region party
The hedgehog uncurled from its spiky ball and called everyone to the burrow party! Let's remember everything you played with it.
- 13
Party chart
Region party
The guests brought presents for the hedgehog. Make the party chart and answer by looking at the columns.
- 14
