Poor Honey the Hedgehog… he’s all alone and lost in the woods. How will he find his way home?

Designed to be more than just a story, children are encouraged to join in with Honey’s movements throughout the adventure. Honey the Hedgehog is a heartwarming woodland adventure created especially for children aged 3-5 years, combining storytelling with movement-based play to make learning fun and engaging.


As darkness falls, Honey must face feelings of worry and sadness. As the sun rises he discovers courage he didn’t know he had, learns to keep going when things feel hard, and finds kindness and friendship in unexpected places.

And he is awfully hungry.

Enhanced by bright and engaging pictures – each page of text is bordered by a different plant complete with friendly insects to encourage a love of nature and numeracy.

And parents are encouraged to get creative by making these movements big and fun or small and calm, to help support:

As children move alongside Honey, they also explore important themes of friendship, hope, perseverance and overcoming fears – helping little ones build confidence while enjoying a magical woodland journey.

– Preschool and Nursery children

For bedtime, simply keep Honey’s movements gentle and slow to help create a peaceful, calming nighttime routine before sleep.

Warm, comforting and full of heart, Honey the Hedgehog is a story children will want to revisit again and again – discovering that even when life feels scary, bravery, friendship and hope can help light the way home.

A feel-good woodland adventure with movement, learning and heart.
