Cards to go with watching the seasons - winter
Do squirrels hibernate? No, they don’t. But they sleep a lot in winter. When it is not too cold, they venture out to search for food. They don’t mind snow. They run and play in the snow. What do you think this squirrel is doing? Is it making a snowman? No, it isn’t. It is searching for nuts. Look closely at that truck. Is it a real snow plow or a toy one? It is a toy. But it can spread sand on the road. Isn’t that cool! This truck is called a snow plow because it removes snow from roads. It uses a blade to push snow. Why does it spread sand? When roads get icy snow plows spread sand. It helps car tires grip better.
