The scene is set around February and March, portrayed by the bleak atmosphere and leafless trees. The paper crown around the boy's head and the eating of waffles are references to the Carnival time prior to Lent. The sky, the ships crashing against the shoreline, and the children preparing themselves in the foreground suggest that harsh weather is coming.
Bruegel is famous for his paintings of scenery and nature. Most of his paintings of the countryside tell a story or have a moral message.[1]
