Seasonings!
A zesty hands-on nature series for budding naturalists ages 4-6 on the cycles and changes of the seasons…
The turn of the seasons is a fascinating time to see Nature at work. Yellow-red leaves fall to the ground, animals leave tracks in snow, buds force up through frosty soil, the world bursts into primary colors, and then it all starts over again. Kindergarten-aged children learn about one of the greatest cycles of life as hands-on activities and crafts show how and why these changes occur, and how plants and animals—and even themselves—grow and change in response to cycles of the seasons.
Four sessions in each of three Seasons (Fall, Winter, Spring) follow a similar format:
Session 1: What happens during this season? How do plants change/adapt during this season?
Session 2: How do birds and mammals change/adapt during this season?
Session 3: How does aquatic life change/adapt during this season?
Session 4: How do insects change/adapt to this season? How do people change and what can we do to help all the other creatures adapt to the changes?
