The countdown is on—just two days until the Summer Solstice! If you’re anything like me, this moment feels like a celebration of everything bright, warm, and full of life. It’s the longest day of the year, when the sun reaches its highest point in the sky and daylight stretches on into the evening.

More than just an astronomical milestone, the Summer Solstice is a turning point in the rhythm of the seasons. It’s the height of summer energy—a time for soaking up the sun, spending time outdoors, and feeling fully alive in nature’s peak. From vibrant flowers in full bloom to long, golden evenings that seem to stretch forever, this season feels like an open invitation to slow down, savor the moment, and reconnect with what brings us joy.

As I look forward to the Summer Solstice, I thought it would be a wonderful time to share a bit about Seasonal Living with Littles with you. This is one of the four resources included with my best-selling toddler bundle: The Everything Toddler Bundle

In Seasonal Living with Littles, you introduce your little one to each solstice and equinox while enjoying seasonal crafts, activities, poetry, and artwork together. It’s your season-by-season, month-by-month resource for natural living with your little ones.

Let’s take a look at what’s included and how you may choose to incorporate Seasonal Living into your home!

A Review of Seasonal Living with Littles

Below, I share with you what is included in Seasonal Living with Littles, as well as some of the fantastic seasonal activities that come with it.

Celebrate the Solstice and Equinox

At the start of each new season, you will take some time to learn about the Winter Solstice, Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice, or Fall Equinox. We look at why these special days exist in a very child-friendly way.

After learning about the special day, you can pick and choose from the celebration ideas. These are simple yet special ideas that help strengthen your connection to nature and the seasons. Perhaps you’ll create a gratitude tree for the Fall Equinox. Maybe, bake some treats for the Winter Solstice, plant seeds for the Spring Equinox, or enjoy a sun-themed craft together for the Summer Solstice!

No matter how you choose to celebrate, you are sure to enjoy beautiful moments with your little one and find new traditions to weave into the year.

Seasonal Activities and Crafts

Seasonal Living with Littles also includes lots of fun crafts, activities, and sensory bin ideas! Every month offers a new sensory bin idea, as well as weekly crafts and activities like these beautiful ice hangings that you’ll make in January:

A Creative Project Just for You

One evening each season, I encourage you to get those little ones to bed, make a warm cup of tea, and have a lovely time creating. We are creative beings! When we are busy with our little ones all day, it is easy to lose sight of this. That is why each season includes a special craft for you to enjoy all on your own.

I hope that these crafts will help you add beauty to your home and reignite that love of creating in your heart. Once complete, these crafts can be displayed on your nature table, in your child’s room, or even given as gifts.

The flower-pressed luminaries that you make for spring also look beautiful for an outdoor lantern!

Seasonal Living Artwork

I collaborated with an immensely talented local artist to create a beautiful piece of art for each season. The artwork can be displayed around your home, in your child’s room, or my personal favorite—right on your nature table.

If you look closely, you will see that each piece of artwork is also tied to the adult craft for the season. For example, the adult craft for the winter season is to create felt snow babies, and the artwork for the winter session is those very snow babies decorating a winter evergreen tree!

Seasonal Poems

A sweet and simple poem is also included with each season. I encourage you to display the poem in your home and practice reciting it aloud with your little one frequently throughout the season. Practicing rhymes and songs with our little ones is excellent for literacy development!

Nature Table Inspiration

Last but not least, in the heart of your home, is the nature table. Using seasonal crafts, artwork, poems, and found natural items, I’ll show you how to create a beautiful nature table for each season.

A nature table is a special place where the outside is welcomed into your home. It is a place for little minds to wander and for imaginations to soar. It is a space for quiet reflection in increasingly busy worlds.

Your little one is going to love this special place.

And there you have it—a full look into the inspiring and beautiful rhythms of Seasonal Living with Littles. Embracing the seasons offers children a magical classroom without walls, filled with hands-on learning, wonder, and a connection to the world around them. 

As you enjoy the seasonal activities, you’ll quickly find that this way of living nurtures your well-being just as much as your child’s. It’s a gentle, joyful reminder that nature doesn’t just guide the year—it can also guide our hearts and homes.
