First of all, I know that I am covering winter when it is almost spring! I just got way behind. I'm going to go ahead with winter, though, because I think this is a prime time to see the signs of winter outside.
I love learning
about and talking about the seasons because they are so vivid and so appealing
to nearly all of your child's senses.
It's so fun to watch them experience what they're learning so fully!
This one is also
fun, because Winter is my favorite season!
The cold, cold weather and the blankets of snow also create such great
contrasts with the other seasons to really help them see the differences among
the seasons.
Here's a list of
some of our favorite books about Winter:

some fun winter activity ideas at the end)
