THE SIMPLE TOOTH FUN FACTS ABOUT SPRING!
HERBIVORE HABITS Most wild herbivores (plant eaters) who live in four-season climates have babies in the early spring. This time of year offers their babies the best chance of growing large and strong and gives them time to put on some fat to store during the winter months. FLOWER POWER Many trees, flowers, plants, and bulbs begin to grow during the spring due to the ample availability of water, light, warmth, and soil (compost). The first spring flowers are typically dandelions, daffodils, lilacs, lilies, iris, and tulips, to name but a few. WHAT’S IN A NAME? Before spring was called “spring,” it was referred to as “Lent” in Old English. Starting in the 14th century, this time of year was called “springing time,” which was a reference to plants “springing” from the ground. In the 15th century, this term was shortened to “spring-time” and then further shortened in the 16th century to just “spring.”

GODDESS OF SPRING If you’re a mythology buff, you’ve likely heard of Persephone, the Greek goddess of spring. According to legend, Hades, the god of the
underworld, fell in love with Persephone when he saw her picking flowers in a meadow one day. He then carried her off in his chariot to live with him in the underworld. Her mother, Demeter, scoured the world trying to convince other gods to get Hades to release Persephone. Eventually, Hades compromised. His ill- gotten wife would spend winters with him as queen of the underworld but would return each spring to preside over rebirth and growth.
