The air outside is getting colder and many creatures are already preparing themselves for the wintertime. Monarch butterflies have long left for Mexico, squirrels are building caches of acorns, and as explored last month, trees are shedding their colourful leaves! Explore November’s activities to learn more about surviving and thriving during the colder months. 

Hibernate, Insulate, Migrate: Learn about the different overwintering adaptations of plants and animals in this fast paced game! 

Crafting Overwintering Habitats: Design habitats that would support New Brunswick species through the winter. 

Sharing Winter Survival Strategies: Create a group collection of your favourite ways to “overwinter” to help you enjoy, rather than endure, the coming season. 

We hope you enjoy burrowing into the topic of overwintering this month! Stay warm and keep your eyes on Nature NB’s social media and the NatureKids website for updates.
