Hi, I'm Luna from DoodleBeez. Every year we travel through four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter. Each season brings different weather, so we wear different clothes. Let's explore them together!

In spring, the weather starts to warm up. It often rains, and plants begin to grow. Flowers bloom and many baby animals are born. Pack a raincoat and boots for splashing in puddles!

Summer is the warmest season. The days are long, with lots of sunshine. We wear shorts, light shirts, sandals and a sun hat. Don't forget sunscreen and plenty of water!

In autumn, which is also called fall, the air turns cooler. Many trees change color and drop their leaves, and the days get shorter. A sweater or a light jacket keeps you cozy.

Winter is the coldest season. Days are short and nights are long. In many places it snows. We bundle up in a warm coat, a hat, mittens, a scarf and snow boots.

Did you notice? Summer days have the most daylight, and winter days have the least. Earth is tilted as it travels around the Sun all year, and that tilt gives us our seasons.

Now it's your turn. It is snowing outside, and the ground is white. Which season is it, and what should you wear? Pause and try. It is winter! Wear a warm coat, mittens and boots.

Great job! Remember, spring is rainy and warming, summer is hot, autumn is cool, and winter is cold. We dress for the weather in each season. Practice the seasons in the Science Lab at doodlebeez.com. See you next time!
