The 6 original stories are the heart of this curriculum and families often make a unique and special connection with the characters, The Hiddles. The Hiddles are a family of sprites who live in the Old Oak Tree in Wishing Wood. With each story we follow Snickle and Pippet as they venture outside and meet their friends of the wood, reflecting on the season and their surroundings.

In each seasonal curriculum you'll find 6 original Hiddles stories, a set of Hiddles puppets and animal characters, a background and a 3D Old Oak Tree.

By listening to stories children learn early literacy and maths skills, such as sequencing, narrative, settings, characters as well as emotions, 'right and wrong', kindness and empathy, imagination and relationships.

Within each seasonal curriculum you'll find 12 beautifully illustrated nature walk pages. Each page has 5 simple activity ideas for the week. These activities require minimal planning or gathering of resources so that you can simply head outside and enjoy your time together.
