Signs of the Seasons Poems
Each new season brings exciting and wondrous changes for children to explore. Get back to nature by combining writing and art.
1. Pick a season and think about the signs that tell you it is that time of year. For example, spring is rainy with lots of earthworms and budding trees, while summer is filled with fireflies and spiders' silky webs. If possible go outside for inspiration.
2. Write a poem filled with word images of the season on white paper with Crayola® Colored Pencils.
3. Attach your poem to construction paper using a Crayola Glue Stick. Illustrate it by drawing graphic images with Crayola Twistables. Cut them out and glue them around your poem.
4. Publish your poem by reading it and displaying the illustration.
Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project. Observe children closely and intervene as necessary to prevent potential safety problems and ensure appropriate use of arts and crafts materials. Some craft items, particularly beads and buttons, are potential choking hazards for young children. Avoid use of such small parts with children younger than 3 years. Craft items such as scissors, push pins and chenille sticks may have sharp points or edges. Avoid use of materials with sharp points by children younger than 4 years. Read all manufacturers' safety warnings before using arts and craft supplies.
Scissors—ATTENTION: The cutting edges of scissors are sharp and care should be taken whenever cutting or handling. Blunt-tip scissors should be used only by children 4 years and older. Pointed-tip scissors should be used only by children 6 years and older.
