We have been experiencing what seems like all four seasons in one month! The weather has gone from a few warm sunny days to a few days with with blizzard like conditions to days with lots of rain or very strong winds. Â With all this crazy weather, it has been a good time of year to explore the weather of all four seasons…
To get us thinking about the four seasons, we read “My Favorite Time of Year” by Susan Pearson. Â I have had this book a very long time and although this book does a nice job illustrating all four seasons, it is a little on the long side as far as the story goes – so we did a little reading and picture surfing through the book…
After reading our book, we extended our study of the four seasons in several of our centers and one of the centers was our four seasons sticky table…
To create the sticky table, just add clear contact paper (sticky side up) to the top of a table or large tray. I used clear packing tape to hold the sticky paper in place…
For this sticky table, we set out foam squares and foam trees for the children to create all four seasons. Â Our colors were divided into cups as follows…
- Red/Yellow/Orange for fall
- White for winter
- Pink/Purple for spring
- Green for summer
Of course, the center was left open ended so the children could choose how they preferred to use or combine the colors…
The foam shapes are easily removed from the sticky table so each child could put their shapes away when done, start over, or change up their designs…
Lots of ways to explore the sticky table…
