Teaching Preschoolers about Seasons
We do calendar time daily (our FREE Daily Calendar Pages are here), but as the seasons change so infrequently it can be difficult for children to grasp the whole concept so I came up with this {FREE} Season Spin Printable.
This is a great activity for Toddler, Preschool, Kindergarten, 1st grade, and 2nd grade kids.
FREE Seasons Worksheets
This is such a fun LOW PREP seasons worksheet to help kids understand the four seasons and months of the year.
First have student color the pictures and letters on their Four Seasons Spinner project.
Next, have students cut out the two circular parts and the triangle out of the top circle.
There are 2 options with this free download (below)
- You can either teach them the four seasons alone
- Or you can teach them about the 4 seasons showing the months. I feel like adding the months allows kids to better grasp when the months /seasons occur. PLUS I think it is cool for kids to see all the months in a circle that they go around and around over and over. Each season has a section to color in representing the season. Then you stick the two sections together with a brad and you have a fun season spin. We are keeping ours with our Calendar so that as the months or seasons change they can see the change happen as part of a whole. The beautiful month clipart is used with permission form Philip Martin.
Seasons Activities
We also learned about seasons with these activities:
Season Spin Preschool Activity
I called out an activity that takes place in a particular season. The kids then turned their season spinner to the correct spinner (they got a Valentine Conversation Heart for correct answers =-)
What do you Wear in the _____ Activity
Dress-up FUN! I called out a season and the kids got the appropriate clothes on for the season from our dress-up clothes. This is a great way to help them understand about dressing appropriately!
Flannel Dress Up Bear Activity
Using our dress-up bear flannel graph set
Seasonal Hand Art Craft for Kids
We made this artwork showing the same tree in the four different seasons. We traced Minnie’s hand to make the tree trunk. Then we labeled our four season trees. As Goofy had just finished studying famous artist Seurat we decided to use his Pointillism style to make our trees.
We had a LOT of fun learning, playing, and crafting with the seasons. Now we are ready for today’s season change! Welcome Spring!!
