A lovely go-along book we read was, Tap the Magic Tree.
It is a wonderful interactive book exploring the way a tree changes through the seasons.

Talk about how the trees look in each season and use play dough to re-create the seasons on our printable seasons worksheet.
For winter, we added flattened balls of "snow."
For spring, we made small flattened circles and added some sparkly sequins to represent the spring buds.
For summer, we filled the whole top of the tree with green playdough.
For fall, we added orange, red, and yellow play dough to represent the changing leaves.
My little ones loved this hands-on activity exploring the four seasons!
