These books about the seasons use age-appropriate words and wonderful illustrations to demonstrate the natural change that happens every year. And if you happen to live in a climate where the changing seasons aren’t so obvious, at least weather-wise, these books will provide a nice geography lesson for your little one as well. If your preschooler is looking for more information, you can supplement your picture-book reading in a few different ways:
Going outside. This of course only works if you live in an area where the changing of seasons is apparent. If you are in a place where the weather is the same somewhat year-round, use the Internet to look for pictures of different places that experience seasonal changes. Not sure what spot to choose? Try a vacation spot that your preschooler has been to before, or maybe one that they are familiar with on television, for example, Times Square in New York City or Walt Disney World. Check out a live camera. There are plenty of live cameras that stream various places all over the world. Choose your city and take a look! Try to always look at the same camera each season. Ask your preschooler about what they think looks the same and what they think looks different.
