7 Hey Duggee Badges for Autumn

Autumn is the ideal time to get your leaf badge as the leaves fall from the trees. They can be a little too easy to collect if you are a hedgehog, like the star of this episode, Hedgely. 

This episode starts off bright and sunny as the Squirrels collect some of the leaves from Duggeee’s book. The Autumn vibes start halfway through when they step into the deep dark woods, and everything turns a little spooky. When Duggee and the Squirrels run away from the “monster”, they tumble out of the woods under an orange sky. Hedgely follows in a shower of fall leaves. 

Autumn is also the time of year to get spooky, and there is no better badge for this than the Spooky Badge. The episode and Top of the Pups song have an eerie charm that wonderfully fits what this time of year means for kids.

The Spooky Badge sees the Squirrels unravel a spooky mystery by following a ghost around the world. The ghost injures Mr and Mr the Crab and walks through a wall before being revealed by Norrie. The character of this whole episode is October with the early sunset and purple sky.

Keep an eye on the weather forecast in Autumn because you might be surprised by a windy day. The type of day that is perfect for kite flying.

The Kite Badge is Autumn on a windy day with the blustery weather blowing freshly fallen leaves around and driving the Squirrels inside. The Squirrels soon learn to embrace the joys of breezy weather by making and flying kites. They also make a giant kite for Hennie.

Autumn is the time of year when scarecrows pop up on freshly planted fields, and scarecrow festivals take place.

Duggee has planted some seeds in his vegetable patch, but the birds keep eating them. The Squirrels decide to make a scarecrow. Meanwhile, Roly becomes a living scarecrow. They make a terrifying scarecrow which works a little too well, so they also make a birdhouse.

The Stick Badge is probably the most iconic Hey Duggee Badge. It has a proper Autumnal quality with those ochre skies and everyone wrapped up against the cold. A bonfire is also a typical Autumn activity.

The Squirrels collect sticks for a bonfire with mixed success until Roly meets a living stick. They make friends and sing and dance until the end of the episode. The parents join Duggee, Stick and the Squirrels for toasted marshmallows on the bonfire.

The Looking After Badge is unique in the world of Hey Duggee for covering a whole year and having four distinct seasons. I wanted to include it here because as well as the Fall sky and piles of leaves that we’ve seen before, Duggee also has a cosy jumper. 

In Autumn, the Squirrels are worried because Pippin, the plant, is losing its leaves. The letter from Phileas Frog and Flea explains that this is normal. Meanwhile, the travellers are exploring the jungle.
