The world changes in winter: We get cozy and snuggly, animals shift their behavior, and trees and flowers wait for spring. There are also a lot of family holidays, which can be joyful and stressful at the same time! Let’s sing some seasonal songs, practice self-regulation, and get ready for fun learning together.

Caregivers and parents, we’ve heard from you that you love seasonal materials, so we’re offering you something new: a collection of Early Bird Learner videos focused on winter, spring, spring, summer, and fall, with songs, science and nature activities, science, and book recommendations.
Speaking of Early Bird Learners, did you know that we’ve created more than 300 videos since March 2020?! That’s an overwhelming number of videos to scroll through to find what you’re looking for! So, we’re looking at new, more user-friendly ways to organize videos so you can find the topics you need when you need them.
More collections will be coming, but right now, our new collections are:
- Especially for Babies and Toddlers
- Fun and Learning in the Four Seasons
- Early Learning Information for Caregivers
- Learning About Ourselves and Others
- Virtual Field Trips
- Guide to Reading Readiness and Early Literacy
What kinds of video topics do you want to find most easily? Email me at shelleyh@oppl.org, and I’ll build that collection for you.
