Whether you’re teaching preschoolers or elementary-aged children, a seasons lapbook can become a treasured keepsake.
Children often remember what they create far better than what they simply read.
Instead of memorizing that there are four seasons, they begin to understand why the seasons change and what makes each one unique.
You can flesh out this easy lapbook for older elementary aged kids by adding topics like weather patterns, plants and animals and daylight changes.

The wonders of plant and animal life told with rare literary charm by Uncle Paul in conversations with three children.

From fall to spring, J.A. Baker set out to track the daily comings and goings of a pair of peregrine falcons across the flat fen lands of eastern England. He followed the birds obsessively, observing them in the air and on the ground, in pursuit of their prey, making a kill, eating, and at rest, activities he describes with an extraordinary fusion of precision and poetry. And as he continued his mysterious private quest, his sense of human self slowly dissolved, to be replaced with the alien and implacable consciousness of a hawk.
A young girl dreams of the arrival of spring, with the blossoming apple trees and the music of tree frogs that accompany warm weather, but she soon learns to also appreciate the magic of winter.
From a letter written by her grandmother, Rebecca learns that winter began on June 21, while she was cooling off under the hose. The northern half of the Earth began to grow cold, and the days grew shorter. The birds began to fly to the sunny underside of the Earth, and the groundhogs and bears went to sleep. But on December 22, summer will begin. Before long, Rebecca will take off her shoes and jump over bluebells.
