Cold places · Ages 4–7 · Five gentle days
Tracks
$5.99 · One-time purchase
We smooth a patch of snow before bed and find out in the morning who walked across it. We learn to tell a hopper from a walker and press our own tracks into clay.
Cold places · Ages 4–7 · Five gentle days
Bare Trees
$5.99 · One-time purchase
The trees aren’t dead, just resting, and next spring’s leaves are already packed inside the buds. We cut one twig, bring it into the warm kitchen, and coax it to wake up early.
Cold places · Ages 4–7 · Five gentle days
Wool and Warmth

We find out that a coat makes no heat, wrap one jar in a sweater and leave one bare, finger-knit a cord of yarn, and bake a shepherd’s pie.
Cold places · Ages 4–7 · Five gentle days
The Light Returning
$5.99 · One-time purchase
The days have been getting longer since before Christmas, and hardly anyone notices. This week we write down the times, mark where the sun lands on the floor, and find out that some changes only show up when you measure them.
Cold places · Ages 4–7 · Five gentle days
Sap and Sugaring
$5.99 · One-time purchase
Snow is still on the ground, but something is already moving inside the trees. This week we learn when sap runs, boil it down, and pour hot syrup onto snow.
Which winter set is right for us?
Winter looks different depending on where you live, so we made two sets of six. If your winters bring snow, this is your set. If your winters are mild and wet, look at Winter in Warm Places instead.
