Here are three playful ways to say that for a 5-year-old — plus a tiny 3-step game to try:

  • "Crunch, munch — birds and furry friends eat berries so they stay warm and cozy when winter comes!"
  • "Berries today, snuggles tomorrow — animals pack berry snacks to get ready for the big cold."
  • "Chirp and nibble! Little animals gobble yummy berries to fill up their tummies before snow time."

Try this 3-step game:

  1. Read one sentence out loud like a song.
  2. Pretend to be a bird or squirrel and act out eating berries (use your hands to munch!).
  3. Say which sentence is your favorite and show a cozy hug to pretend you’re staying warm in winter.
