❄️ What Is the Snow Season?

A Fun Guide for Kids to Learn About Winter and Snow!

Have you ever seen the ground covered in white, fluffy snow? That means it’s snow season, also known as winter in many parts of the world! It’s a magical time when the weather gets cold, and snowflakes fall from the sky like tiny frozen stars.

 

🌨️ What Is Snow?

Snow is frozen water that falls from the sky when the air is very cold. It forms when water vapor in clouds turns into ice crystals. These crystals stick together and fall as snowflakes. Each snowflake has a unique shape — no two are exactly the same!

 

🧤 What Happens During Snow Season?

  • The weather becomes cold, often below freezing

  • Snow covers the ground, trees, and rooftops

  • People wear warm clothes like jackets, hats, gloves, and boots

  • Lakes and ponds may freeze, turning into ice

  • Animals like bears may go into hibernation to sleep through the cold

 

⛄ Fun Things to Do in the Snow

  • Build a snowman with a carrot nose and stick arms

  • Have a snowball fight with friends

  • Make snow angels by lying down and waving your arms and legs

  • Go sledding down snowy hills

  • Drink hot chocolate to warm up after playing outside
