Winter is the coldest season of the year. It comes after autumn and before spring.
What to look for:
- Weather: Often cold, frosty, and sometimes snowy or icy.
- Plants: Deciduous trees are bare with no leaves, some berries may remain. Some evergreen trees, like pine and holly, stay green.
- Animals: Many animals are hibernating. You might see winter birds like robins and you can leave out food to help them.
- Daylight: The days are the shortest and the nights are the longest.
💡 Fun Facts
- The shortest day of the year is in winter and is called the Winter Solstice.
- Every snowflake has six sides and is completely unique. No two are ever exactly the same!
- Some animals, like the mountain hare and the stoat, grow a white coat in winter to camouflage themselves in the snow.
