I know it's already been answered, but this also works. You are:
A stick
After spring, I’m a hiker’s delight.
Hikers appreciate a good walking stick.
In the summer, I help children play.
Kids like to play with sticks.
Before fall, I will tumble with might.
Leaves and dry sticks tend to fall from trees in the autumn.
And come winter, I’ll sleep in all day.
Trees and fallen branches will sleep through the winter under a blanket of snow.

In the summer, I help children play.
Kids like to play with sticks.
Before fall, I will tumble with might.
Leaves and dry sticks tend to fall from trees in the autumn.
And come winter, I’ll sleep in all day.
Trees and fallen branches will sleep through the winter under a blanket of snow.

That works too, although it doesn’t take advantage of the wordplay tag. +1 from me anyway, good answer!
