Norman was born in Surrey and was the oldest of the Criddle children. From an early age his high level of intelligence was evident. He and Alice would collect caterpillars and he memorized the breed and whether they would metamorphose into a moth or a butterfly and their preferred type of vegetation.

Norman preferred walks on the prairie or through the woods, rather than sporting events. A walk with Norman was a favorite pastime with his friends, and Alma wrote
"These were trips for fun and learning, as the groups around Norman never tired of hearing him talk about his friends, the inhabitants of Nature's world. His description of flora and fauna, his tales about their wonders fascinated his listeners."

A hobby that occupied the time of many of the children would be to catch bugs. It was recorded that Norman would sit for endless hours completely still that deer could walk right up to him, and upon getting a scent from him would only then scamper off.
