5 easy winter wildlife projects to do with the kids that support birds, bugs and hedgehogs (all approved by my own toddler!)

Winter garden robin with snow.

It might feel like it’s too cold to get out in the garden, but if your kids are as feral as mine, now is actually the perfect time to get children involved in observing and supporting local critters – especially if you plan some lovely winter wildlife projects to do together.

Yes, while summers are dedicated to planting, watering, and near-constant activity, this quieter season actually allows the garden to become a space of discovery and curiosity. And this means that we can slow down, watch, and learn about wildlife and the natural world in ways that are often overlooked during the busier months.
