Let’s Welcome Spring !
Spring is a really fun and exciting time of the year. It is a time for new beginnings and fresh starts.
Flowers start to bloom in spring, and the world becomes colorful again. Animals and bugs come out of hibernation, and birds come back from warm places.
Let’s learn about signs of Spring together with Clever Hedgehog!
Signs of Spring
Spring is like magic for the world! It’s when everything wakes up from a long nap. The weather gets warmer, just like a cozy hug from the sun.
It’s when everything wakes up from a long nap. The weather gets warmer, just like a cozy hug from the sun. Flowers start to pop up from the ground like colorful candies.
Trees that were bare in winter grow new leaves. They start out tiny and green, but they get bigger and bigger as the days get longer.
Birds that were away in warm countries all winter are coming back, too.

What we can do in Spring?
Spring is a great time for planting seeds and growing gardens.
Spring is a time to play outside! The days get longer, which means you get to play outside for longer too! You can skip in the sunshine, have a picnic under a tree, or go on a bug hunt. It’s a season full of fun and new discoveries! Clever Hedgehog has a lot of ideas for outdoor games!
Spring is also when we celebrate Easter, which is a special holiday when we paint eggs and have egg hunts. It’s a time for families to come together and have fun.
Did you know?
In spring, swallows return to their homes and immediately begin to repair and make their nests cozy for future chicks.
Swallows’ nests are built from lumps of wet dirt or clay, which they collect from puddles. Between mud lumps they lay grass and plant roots for more strength. The bottom of a swallow’s nest is lined with down and feathers.
Swallows that live in cities and swallows that live in the countryside make nests in different ways. City swallows build nests on the walls of large buildings close to each other. Countryside swallows build nests inside barns and stables.
Swallows spend most of their lives in the air. They eat and drink while flying. These birds help nature by eating harmful insects.
Poems about Spring
It’s Time for Spring
My sweater’s tight and itchy
My snow pants are too small
Last week I lost a mitten
I can’t find my scarf at all.
My woolen socks have lost their toes.
My boots have lost their tread.
And I have lost the love I had
For words like “skies” and “sleds”.
But … my fishing rod still fits
And … my baseball bat still kits
I have a kite that wants to fly
So … Winter, call it quits!
By Bobby Katz
One Spring Day
One sunny day,
When I went outside to play,
I saw something starting to grow.
When I went closer to look,
I saw something out of a book,
That sprouts were all in a row.
So I looked all around me,
It was a fresh sight to see
That flowers had begun to grow!
Tulips
In the garden tulips grow.
Straight and golden in a row.
Each one holds its empty cup,
Drinking rain and sunshine up.
