The Four Seasons for Kids: Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter
Spring, summer, autumn and winter, plus three words that describe them: warm days, cold days and snow. The seasons happen because the Earth is tilted: as it orbits the Sun, each half of the planet leans toward the Sun for part of the year and away from it for the rest.
Autumn and winter read normally across, snow and warm read backwards, and summer runs upward.
