Short stories about blueberries. First Snowdrop
The wonderful white bells of a fragile flower appear in early spring, when there is still snow in the forest. That's why people call it snowdrop.
Cracked the ice
Little snowdrop
And the flower bloomed
White and tender.
An amazing flower grows and develops in winter, under a warm blanket of snow, and in early spring its fresh light green stem with buds appears from under the snow. Snowdrops are not afraid of the winter cold. At the top, a dense snowdrift does not allow either cold or wind to pass through; in the middle, the snowdrift is usually looser, and streams already run near the ground during the February thaw. Melt water accelerates plant growth, so snowdrops grow quickly.
In March, under the bright rays of the sun, the snowdrifts darken, become loose, settle, they let in a lot of sunlight and soon “the first flower breaks the ice.”
Now you know why this flower is called a snowdrop - it grows under the snow!
Snowdrops, like all early spring flowers - lungworts, corydalis, coltsfoot, love bright sunlight. That's why they bloom when there are no leaves on the trees to shade the forest.
In March there are seven weather conditions a day: sometimes it’s warm with the sun, sometimes it’s snowing! Frosts occur at night. Dark clouds sometimes cloud the sky, it rains with snow, and a piercing icy wind blows. But the snowdrop doesn’t care! It is not afraid of the cold, because the juice that fills it contains a lot of sugar, and such solutions do not freeze during mild frosts.
On stormy, cloudy days, snowdrop flowers close tightly and their heads droop. Snowdrops save a sweet drop of honey hidden in the depths of the flower for bumblebees.
Snowdrops in different places are called different flowers that are the first to emerge from under the snow. They come in different colors - sometimes blue, sometimes white, sometimes purple.
Silence slumbers lightly
In the dark thickets of the forest,
Spring has spilled there
Blue lakes.
The sullen boron perked up,
Alive and rejuvenated
And with spring bright thoughts
He looked at the snowdrop.
While admiring the snowdrop, remember what people say: “Spring looks into the heavens with the blue eyes of snowdrops.”
“In the Caucasus, the snowdrop galanthus grows, very similar to a light lantern swinging on a thin stalk.
In a light winter forest, under a layer of fallen leaves you can see large greenish-white flowers. They call them anemones, adonis and snowdrops, and everything is wrong. The real name of the flower that first ushered in spring is hellebore.” (S. Krasikov).
The “snow maiden” flowers include noble coppice, dream grass, and white grass.
There are many legends about the snowdrop. Listen to a poem that conveys one of them.
Forest path
It was winter with friends -
Colds and Blizzards,
Blizzard and Blizzard.
And Spring is coming towards her,
And blush and clear,
In a colorful sundress,
With birds, flowers.
Winter envied Spring,
Her youth and beauty,
Blown by icy winds,
Swirled around in angry blizzards.
The flowers were afraid of the cold
And closed their petals.
Only snowdrop
Fragile and tender
With all my might
Opened the petals
A drop of white.
Small but bold!

A story about snowdrops for children from the Red Book
Message about Snowdrop for Year 3
Snowdrop is the earliest small-bulbed plant. These are unusually delicate plants with a small white bell-shaped head, a short stem and long narrow green leaves. The aroma of snowdrop is very subtle and light.
Why was the snowdrop called that? The snowdrop got its name because it grows from under the snow - “snowdrop”. This small plant can withstand even ten-degree frost.
And the scientific name of the flower is “galanthus”, which means milk drop. The petals look like drops, and the color is white, like milk. With the onset of darkness, the snowdrop flower closes and becomes very, very similar to a drop of milk.
Snowdrops have only two narrow leaves near a short stem.
Snowdrop is a forest flower. This beautiful and delicate flower grows from a small bulb. This bulb contains the nutrients accumulated over the summer and autumn.
The Legend of the Snowdrop
An old Russian legend tells that one day the old woman Winter with her companions Frost and Wind decided not to let the beautiful Spring come to earth. But the brave Snowdrop straightened up, straightened its petals and asked for protection from the Sun. The sun noticed the Snowdrop, warmed the earth and opened the way for Spring.
Why is the snowdrop listed in the Red Book?
Snowdrops are the first to bloom, so people pick them without sparing, some for themselves, and some for sale. They pick them in armfuls, pulling them out along with the bulbs, trampling the densely growing flowers. To preserve this type of flower, scientists have included it in the Red Book. Snowdrops picked from the forest are prohibited from sale, and violators face a fine.
Magic primroses - snowdrops
Since ancient times, primroses in the form of a snowdrop have been considered an emblem of hope and, of course, the snowdrop has often become the hero of various legends and tales...
One day, the old woman Winter with her companions Cold and Wind decided not to let Spring come to earth. All the flowers were frightened by the threats of Winter, except for the snowdrop, which straightened its stem and pressed a hole in the thick blanket of snow. The Sun saw its petals and warmed the earth with warmth, opening the way for Spring.
According to one ancient legend, snowdrops were the first flowers on earth. When God expelled Adam and Eve from paradise, it was winter on earth and it was snowing. Eva froze and began to cry. The snowflakes took pity on her, and several of them turned into flowers. Eva was very happy about this. She had hope for forgiveness, and flowers - snowdrops - have since become a symbol of hope.
There is an old story that resembles a fairy tale in its plot. Once upon a time, there lived a brother and sister. Their parents died early, leaving a house on the edge of the forest, and the children were forced to fend for themselves. The brother was a hunter, and the sister was busy with housework. And then one day, when my brother was not at home, my sister decided to collect more snow to wash the floors in the room. Spring was just coming into its own, and therefore there was still a lot of snow in the forest. The sister took two buckets and went into the forest. She wandered quite far from home. But the girl knew the forest well, and therefore was not afraid of getting lost. But another misfortune awaited her here: the old goblin, riding around his possessions on a lame wolf, saw a girl and realized that such a neat housewife would not bother him. He grabbed her and took her to his den. But the girl was not at a loss - she pulled a string of beads made of river pearls left from her mother and began to mark her path with beads. But they fell into the snow without a trace. The girl realized that her brother could not find her, and she cried bitterly. The clear sun took pity on the orphan's grief, melted the snow, and in the place where the pearls fell, the first spring flowers grew - snowdrops. It was through them that the brother found his way to the devil’s den. When the goblin saw that his hiding place had been discovered, he screamed and took off running. And the brother and sister returned to their home and lived happily.
And here is another beautiful Polish legend about the origin of the snowdrop.
It was a harsh winter outside. A family lived in a hut in the mountains. The father of the family went around the world in search of work, and his wife and two children remained waiting for him. Towards the end of January, the boy suddenly fell ill, and the healer identified the illness, but fresh flowers and leaves were needed to treat it. Then his sister went in search of plants and saw that everything around was frozen and covered with snow. She threw herself on the ground and began to cry bitterly. These hot and heartfelt tears of the girl broke through the snow cover, reached the ground and awakened delicate flowers - snowdrops. They began to make their way through the thick layer of snow and finally crawled to the surface. And wherever the girl cried, white flowers rose from the ground. The young beauty picked them, brought them home - and the little brother was saved.
There is also a German version of the story of the origin of the snowdrop. When the earth was first covered in snow, it really lacked green grass, flowers and beautiful plants. And then the white snowdrop fell to the cold winter and the stinging snow, as a harbinger of the passing frosts. The snow was so happy with the snowdrop that it allowed it to bloom right under its cold blanket.
In Romania and in some countries there is one wonderful spring custom.
On March 1, all people give their loved ones or family and friends a small gift - Marcisor. These are two silk laces with tassels at the ends, woven together (one should be white and the other red), and a flower (most often it is a snowdrop), a heart or something else. In this way, people celebrate the arrival of spring, considering March 1st a kind of holiday of spring and love. And the legend itself goes like this.
One day the Sun descended in a village in the form of a young man to have a little fun. The Evil Snake guarded him for a long time, and then stole him from among the people and locked him in his palace. The world became sad, the birds stopped singing, the springs stopped flowing and ringing, and the children forgot what fun and laughter were. The world plunged into darkness, sadness and despondency. And none of the residents dared to fight the terrible Serpent. But there was one brave young man who volunteered to save the Sun. Many people equipped him on the road and gave him their strength so that he could overcome the Serpent and free the Sun. The journey continued all summer, all autumn and all winter.
The guy found the Serpent's palace, and a battle ensued. The young man defeated the Serpent and freed the Sun, and it rose to the sky. Nature came to life, people rejoiced, but the brave young man did not have time to see spring, as he was mortally wounded. His warm blood flowed from the wound and flowed onto the snow. Where the snow melted, white flowers grew - snowdrops, the harbingers of spring. The last drop of blood fell on the white snow. A courageous young man has died.
The riddles contain the main features and qualities of the item. For flowers, this is the time of flowering, the shape of the flower, the smell. Sometimes its color is an important criterion. These are riddles about snowdrops.
Primrose emerging immediately from under the snow
With the onset of early spring, the first thawed patches appear. And in them you can watch how flowers make their way to the sun and open their cups. It is this feature that is most often emphasized by riddles about snowdrops.
He came out from under the snow
Delicate white flower.
Here you can notice the second quality of the flower. After all, there are many primroses, but only the snowdrop is white. By the way, most people are not very good at this. Therefore, many classify all primroses as snowdrops. In fact, they differ in a number of characteristics:
- They only come in white;
- have only 3 outer spoon-shaped petals;
- green stripes are visible on the three inner petals.
The fact that snowdrops are always white, and not blue or yellow, is indicated by its scientific name. In Greek, this flower is called galanthus, which means “milk flower”. Has anyone seen animals giving blue or yellow milk? That’s why spring riddles about snowdrops reflect this feature of the plant.
That flower is tender, white-eyed!
He is the first to make us all happy.
The shortest riddles about snowdrops
The definition of a flower can be contained in a very condensed form. For example, there are short ones. True, they are for children who already know something about this flower. These riddles about the snowdrop are based on the translation of its name from different languages.
- What flower is called a snow drop in English-speaking countries?
- The Germans call it the snow bell. What do they call it in Russia?
- What kind of “milk flower” blooms in early spring?
These questions wouldn't be out of place on a school quiz. Of course, you need to prepare the children a little for it, a few days before the event, push them to search for the necessary information.
You can also place such riddles in a wall newspaper. Younger schoolchildren really enjoy searching and finding answers to questions in the “Think and Guess!” section.
Rebus
Younger schoolchildren learn to decipher puzzles. They can be placed in a wall newspaper in the “Think and Guess!” section. They can be short, just one word.
Looking at the first element, you will notice that under the letter “C” there is an “H”. This stands for "podsn".
Next comes a picture of hedgehogs, and in the upper right corner there is a comma with its tail facing up. This means that the last letter of the word needs to be removed. There are hedgehogs in the picture. If you remove the last letter, you get “hedgehog.”
In the last element, the letters “N” and “K” join hands. This is what is deciphered - “N” and “K”. Write down "nickname".
Riddles with rhyming answers for little ones
At four or five years old, children love to notice distinctive qualities in objects, compare them with each other and look for rhymes to the last lines of poetry. To facilitate the task of finding the correct answer to a riddle, they compose a quatrain, where the answer word is at the very end. For example, such a poem is read to children without saying the last word. But it is easy to pick up thanks to a simple rhyme. This is how children receive a hint that helps them find the answer.

"Snowdrop" Anzelmas Matutis
I was born!
I was born!
The snow has broken through
He came into the world!
Wow, what a prickly snow you are,
You are cold, snowy, and feisty.
You're dreaming about frost in vain,
Very soon you will melt,
You'll float into the river
And you won’t say a word!
G. Melovik
Only the snow will melt from the edge, -
The air is louder and warmer.
Snowdrops have tops
Whiter than snow.
How tender in a white dress
These modest flowers!
Don't rip them off in between
Be smart!
The snowdrop has a flower
There is only one peduncle.
No son or daughter will be born
If you took away the flower.
He can't fight back
There is a flower in a white dress.
Only dewdrops with reproach
The petal will cry after.
Snowdrop. L. Kudryavskaya
Snowdrop came running
In the March forest,
Snowdrop looked in
Into a clear stream.
And when I saw myself,
He shouted: “Here they are!”
I didn't even notice
That spring has come."
M. Petrovskaya
A snowdrop grew in the clearing,
The snowdrop blossomed in the clearing,
But winter is angry with the snowdrop
And the frost is angry with the snowdrop.
But the snowdrop doesn’t notice
It shakes over the clearing head.
This is how our snowdrop greets spring.
And here is another very beautiful and touching poem about a snowdrop.
Snowdrop. Zoya Alexandrova
At the snow-covered hummocks,
Under a white snow cap,
We found a little blue flower,
Half frozen, barely alive.
It must have been hot
It's sunny this morning.
The flower became hot under the snow,
And he thought it was time
And he got out... but everything was quiet around,
There are no neighbors, he is the first here.
The hare saw him
She smelled it and wanted to eat it.
Then she probably regretted it:
You're too thin, my friend!
And suddenly the fluffy one went. white
Cold March snow.
He fell and skidded...
It's winter again, not spring.
And from a flower on a long stem
Only the cap is visible.
And he, turning blue from the cold,
Bowing my weak head,
Said: “I’ll die, but I won’t regret it”
After all, spring began with me!”
