Best Winter Picture Books for Toddlers
These are some of the best winter picture books for toddlers. They are a lovely way to introduce ideas about seasons and to discuss the types of things children might notice and experience in winter. These stories will help children to enjoy more fully what they observe in nature. I have enjoyed sharing these with children at school as well as with my own children.
