Why Do We Celebrate the Four Seasons?

We celebrate the four seasons because they help us know what to expect all year round, like having a special friend who tells you when it’s time for snow or sand.

Imagine Earth is spinning around the Sun, just like a kid running around their favorite toy. Sometimes we’re closer to the Sun, and sometimes farther away. When we're closer, it gets warmer, that's summer. When we're farther, it gets cooler, that's winter.

• Spring is like a big party after winter, flowers wake up, trees get green again, and birds come back.
• Autumn is when leaves turn pretty colors, like when your favorite shirt gets washed and looks new.
• Summer is the time for ice cream, swimming, and long days outside.
• Winter brings snowflakes, cozy blankets, and hot chocolate.

Each season helps us prepare, like knowing when to wear a coat or put away your swimsuit. It’s like having a calendar that changes with the weather!
