bloom?
l What are some things we do in the summer when it is hot and sunny?
l What are some things we do in the fall when the leaves change?
l What are some things we do in the winter when it snows?
3. Divide the children into four groups and give each group one of the boxes.
4. Invite each group to open the boxes and explore their contents. Challenge the
children to name the objects and explore them through pretend play.
