Seasonal colors in the garden

Notice how the colors get brighter and more profuse in summer. In winter, gardens are very bare, with no color on the tress. In spring, bright green leaves start to appear on the tress, together with flowering shrubs and flowers. In summer, leaves on the trees are fully opened in every shade of green and there is a mass of other color around. Autumn sees leaves beginning to turn red and brown before they fall off, leaving the trees bare again.

Can your child tell you which season it is from looking at the garden? Let him paint or make a collage of a garden in the four different seasons.
