Why do the leaves change color in the fall? Why is there so much rainfall in the spring? If you\u2019re trying to explain the reason for the season to your little ones, here is what you need to know.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>The Earth has a tilt.<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Earth sits on a slight tilt of about 23.5 degrees. Because of this tilt, different areas of the world are hit with more (or less) sunlight and warmth than others throughout the year. These changes in weather are broken up into four seasons: summer, fall, winter and spring.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Summer<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Summer lasts from late June to late September, and brings long, hot days along with it. Warm, dry temperatures occur during these three months, which can often lead to droughts in areas where water is in short supply. It\u2019s especially important to help your loved ones stay hydrated and healthy through this sultry season by drinking plenty of water and wearing sunscreen when outdoors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Fall<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Late September, October, and November (and the beginning of December) are the three months of fall, which is sometimes called autumn. During the fall, the weather begins to cool off, leaves start to turn a golden hue, and preschool children across the nation head back to school. The excitement of choosing Halloween costumes and planning spectacular Thanksgiving feasts occur throughout these months. With such cool temperatures, there is no better season to take a walk through the park with the ones you cherish.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Winter<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Christmas, New Year\u2019s Eve, and Valentine&#8217;s Day all fall within the winter season. From mid-December to mid-March, temperatures drop to an icy low. Northern states typically experience snow, some even encountering a blizzard or two. Just remember\u2014dry, cold air can have negative effects on any plant life in your lawn. To protect your plants from frost, try covering them with a plastic sheet overnight. This should provide your crops with a bit of warmth while acting as a barrier from the frigid winter air.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>Spring<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Finally, spring lasts from late March until mid-June and brings many positive changes to the environment with it. Flowers are in full bloom, the days last longer, trees are bursting with new leaves, and rainfall is much more frequent.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Winter, spring, summer, or fall, you can celebrate the seasons year-round by teaching your preschool children about the changing temperatures, weather patterns, and other distinguishing characteristics such as holidays and seasonal activities. Get started today by heading outdoors to enjoy some springtime sunshine.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">did you know&#8230;<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&#8230;That the solstices mark the end of one season and the beginning of another? That&#8217;s right! The Winter Solstice historically has marked the end of fall and the beginning of winter! It also marks the shortest number of daylight hours during the year because half the Earth is tilted away from the sun!
