A hands-on guide to discovering winter

Gabby Dawnay’s compact guide brings together winter nature study, simple activities, poems and factual explanations. Children can explore animal tracks, evergreen trees, snowflakes and hibernation, with identifier pages to help them recognize plants and animals. The projects range from making woodland wind chimes to writing a bedtime story for a sleepy bear, pairing observation with creative play. Its examples include several ways to encounter nature—from a garden or city park to fields and forests—so the season’s details are not limited to a wilderness setting.
