Make a Weather Chart With Your PreSchooler

7:59 pm Games and Activities

Taking temperature readings of the weather outside may be a little too much for preschoolers who can’t really “see” temperature. But your child can see the clouds, feel the rain on his face, and the chill in his fingers when when snow falls. He can see when it’s foggy, and he knows when it’s windy outside.

To establish the concepts of weather, make a weather chart for your child. Make separate rows for each day of the month, and let her decorate with weather symbols - rain, clouds, sun etc. Then, let her use colored stickers to denote the weather outside - blue for a rainy day, black for cloudy weather, yellow for a sunny day, white for snow, and so on. She can even use combinations of stickers to denote a day that started out sunny, but ended up dark and gloomy - a half yellow sticker and a half black sticker. Let he do this every morning.

For an older child, you can take temperature readings, and record these too.

Make sure you hang the weather chart at her eye level - kids like to see what they are taking part in!

Have fun!

    Ohh this sounds like a fun project! Especially because the weather is (hopefully!) about to start warming up here. I think we will make this our next home learning task, thanks! :)

    We did this w/ a blank calendar & pictures I printed off from clipart in Publisher. However, my problem is remembering to do it every day! Any tips for that?!

    @Jessica, Maybe hang the chart near your front door so she can note it before she leaves (if she goes to a play group), or where you do activities with her if she’s being home schooled…
