I am in South Carolina, where the seasonal changes are generally very obvious. I am looking for new ways to introduce 3 year olds to nature, science, etc, that will hold their interest for more than 1 minute, and I think this activity may do it, and you can always add extensions to it if the children aren't ready to transition to another activity.

Here in California where I teach, the change in seasons is often subtle but this task will help children see the signs. I would add ants, spiders, spider webs, earthworms, and butterflies to the insects and small animals list. Children will love the “hunt” aspect of this activity.
