Learn why hares turn white in the winter season through a simple explanation designed for preschoolers.
Okay sweetie, let’s talk about the hare! A hare is a little animal, kind of like a bunny. Now, when winter comes and there is lots of snow, the hare changes its color. In the summer, it is brown like the dirt and the grass, but when it snows, it turns white! This helps the hare to hide in the snow so that other animals can’t see it. Think of it like wearing a big white coat! So, the hare can stay safe while it hops around in the beautiful white world of winter!
