A story about Birch

This is a birch tree. She has a white, thin, slender trunk. The branches have round leaves. The birch tree feeds with the help of its roots. Birch is a large deciduous tree. Most often it grows in the forest. In the city, people plant birch trees to make the air clean. Various crafts are made from birch bark. In spring, buds appear on the birch tree and turn into leaves. The birch tree remains green all summer. In autumn the leaves turn yellow and fall off. In winter, bare branches are covered with snow.

What are trees for, benefits of trees

Trees purify and humidify the air, create coolness, and some produce delicious edible fruits. Sawn wood is a building material: dried trunks are used to make boards, plywood, furniture, toys, and paper. Trees grow slowly, so they need to be protected. We need to protect the trees, take care of them, sometimes talk to them kindly, and in the spring, plant young trees together with our parents.

Description of trees for children

In addition to pictures, you should prepare a description of trees for classes. There is no need to overload preschoolers with scientific calculations about plants; a general description and interesting facts are enough.

For example, you can say about the birch tree that it is one of the symbols of Russia. Her beauty has long been compared to that of a young girl. The white bark of a birch is not for decoration, it is protection against sunburn. In ancient times, baskets and other household items were made from birch bark.

Oak is a strong tree, a symbol of male strength, health and longevity. Its fruits are acorns, which deer and wild boars love to feast on.

Willow is also called willow, willow, willow. It is called weeping because of its thin branches hanging over the water, as if a tree is crying. Willow grows only near bodies of water. In ancient times, people were engaged in dowsing - they looked for underground water using willow twigs in order to dig wells in this place.

Horse chestnut is the most beautiful park tree in our country. Its white flowers are collected in large pyramidal inflorescences. The plant got its name because on its ripe brown fruits there is a noticeable pale spot, reminiscent of the mark of a horse's horseshoe.

Maple is the most elegant autumn tree. Its carved leaves turn a variety of shades in autumn, from gold to burgundy.

Linden is the main honey plant. Linden honey is rich in beneficial substances. Linden tea is recommended for colds.

The saying “trembles like an aspen leaf” is associated with aspen. Its leaves are dense and rounded, with a long petiole. The slightest breeze is enough for them to begin to tremble, rub against each other, and rustle.

Poplar is known for its fluff that covers the asphalt in June. Poplar fluff is small tree achenes covered with the finest fibers.

The spruce is the main symbol of Christmas. This is an evergreen species; the needles do not fall off before the arrival of winter.

Larch is the only deciduous coniferous species. She changes her needles every year.

Cedar, or more correctly cedar pine, is known for its delicious and extremely healthy nuts, rich in oils and vitamins.
