But for babies this fabulous time, when nature comes to life, should not be overshadowed by any domestic turmoil. After all, adults should try to make the world of children even more colorful, for that it is childhood, to impose an indelible positive trace on the whole life of a small person.
To draw the attention of the baby to the onset of a new era, there are ancient folk spring signs for children, which even pre-school children can understand the meaning of. The smallest one can point to the signs of spring on the way to the kindergarten or for a walk. Swelling buds, and then emerging from them, gentle green leaves are always interesting for watching babies.
On birches after a long winter there are earrings, but these are not decorations, but original flowers, they appear before the foliage appears on the tree. It is necessary to draw the child's attention to the sky, which in the spring becomes piercingly blue and high, unlike the gray low in the winter.
Such clear signs will certainly interest the child and will be put off in his memory:
- if the long icicles hang from the roofs, the spring will be long;
- bird-bilberries fly closer to the house - wait for the cold;
- the little bells sing on the trees - soon warm days;
- clouds float high across the sky - there will be good weather;
- migratory birds fly in large flocks - soon warm days will come;
- see spring white rabbit - spring will be protracted.
Folk signs of spring for schoolchildren
For children who are already in school, people's signs become more understandable, and it will be interesting for them to check in practice whether they will come true. Although, in fairness it should be noted that now some of them are irrelevant, because climate, ecology and the environment have changed greatly since the time of our great-grandmothers, when these signs arose.
Signs of early spring:
- in the early spring thunder - it will be cold;
- if the lightning without thunder in March, there will be a dry summer;
larks and rooks arrived early - the cold will soon be over and warm weather will be established; - snow rough - harvest year; smooth - on the contrary.
Signs of late spring:
- if there is a lot of web in May, there will be a good harvest;
- in puddles there are a lot of tadpoles - in the bins there is plenty;
- swallows fly low - it will rain;
- If lightning flashes and there is no thunder, it will be a dry summer.
Signs, what will be the spring, had great importance for our ancestors. And now those who are engaged in agriculture, along with the calendar and synoptic data, rely on folk methods.
