Even before young children know and understand the cycle of the year, they experience the seasonal changes in nature: the falling temperatures in autumn, the cold in winter, the lush green of summer giving way to red and yellow tones, and how the earth hides under a white blanket in winter. With age-appropriate creative ideas from the series 'With Young Children Through the Year,' educators guide children in this fundamental experience and help them place autumn and winter within the broader context of the annual cycle. In addition to the necessary foundational knowledge, the volumes offer songs, finger games, rhymes, games, simple craft ideas, and valuable tips for working with parents.
