Teaching your child about spring, summer, fall, and winter helps them understand how the world changes throughout the year. It gives them language to describe what they see, feel, and experience.
And to make learning extra fun, we’ve included FREE Four Seasons Flash Cards at the end of this post!️
Spring
Spring is the season of new beginnings! Flowers start to bloom, baby animals are born, and the weather gets warmer. You might see rain showers, rainbows, and lots of green grass and trees.
Questions to prompt discussions
- What colours do you see in spring?
- What do animals do in spring?
- Can you name a spring flower?
Summer
Summer is the hottest season. The sun is out, and it’s a great time to play outside, go to the beach, or eat ice cream! Trees are full of leaves, and gardens are blooming with fruits and vegetables.
- What do you wear in summer?
- What are your favorite summer activities?
- How does the sun feel?
Fall (Autumn)
Fall is a season of change. Leaves turn orange, red, and yellow before they fall from the trees. The weather gets cooler, and animals start getting ready for winter.
- What colours do you see in fall?
- What happens to the leaves?
- What do animals do to get ready for winter?
Winter
Winter is the coldest season. Sometimes it snows, and we wear coats, mittens, and hats. Trees lose their leaves, and some animals hibernate or sleep through the season.
- What do you wear in winter?
- How does snow feel?
- What holiday happens in winter?
What learning is taking place?
