Learn about the adaptations that help animals survive the winter, note “seasonal firsts” on your woodland calendar, track changes in sunshine, identify coniferous trees and animal tracks, explore the snow cycle, discover the science behind sound, graph historic snowfalls, and so much more!
🎨 Creative hands-on crafts and activities, including sewing your own tea towel apron, creating cozy teacup candles, lavender pillows, beaded snowflakes, and ringing your own clay bell!
🕰️ Historical connections to explore the history of calendars, sleighs, and famous bells.
🧁 Bake story-inspired recipes such as candied “bark” or apple pudding.
