Caps hats socks and mittens:
What are some of the things that make winter different from spring? Or summer different from fall? In winter, children wear hats and mittens and ride red sleds down snowy hills. They drink hot chocolate from steaming mugs and at night they curl up in bed under a warm winter quilt. In spring, children watch as the grass gets cut and birds fly to their nests of eggs. They wear raincoats when it rains, and on sunny days enjoy picnics in the grass. Under the hot summer sun, children swim at the beach or in a lake. They play baseball and catch a jar full of fireflies. They race to be the first off the school bus in the fall. They see the frost on the grass before the sun is up and dress up for Halloween when the sun goes down.
