Winter Solstice Read Alouds & Scavenger Hunt {Free Printable}
Winter Solstice can easily get lost in the shuffle around mid-December, can’t it?! A read aloud and an outdoor scavenger hunt are just our speed to mark the shortest day of the year!
I created this PDF scavenger hunt for our nature co-op to get us moving and exploring the wintry trail! (Click that link <<- for PDF or the image below for a jpg.) This activity was recommended in our nature curriculum, Exploring Nature With Children, which we follow for weekly topics to guide our hikes.

The books we’ve enjoyed to mark the changing of seasons and to explore the science behind it:
Find out how many hours of sunlight you’ll have in your area on the solstice. Then, bake 24 cookies to represent 24 hours. Frost your cookies either white or chocolate to correspond to the hours of daylight/darkness! How cute is that?! A terrific treat for a wintry themed poetry teatime, too!
