What Does Thanksgiving Mean to You?
November 12, 2024
Looking for an educational activity to do with your small child. This one will cost nothing and, as an added bonus, will educate your child about the weather.
Weather Log
WHAT YOU’LL NEED:
- A pen or pencil
- Paper or a notebook
- Optional: A thermometer
HOW IT WORKS
The weather outside your door is always changing, sometimes in big ways and sometimes in small ones. This activity allows you to track those changes by creating your very own weather log. Start by picking a time of the day to go outside and record your weather observations.
What’s the temperature? It’s great if you have a thermometer, but if you don’t, you can still record how the air feels to you. Is it windy? Are there any clouds and what do they look like? Is it raining or snowing? Or is it sunny? Try recording the weather at the same time of day the next day. To really see how the weather changes, try logging it for a week, a month or even a year!
You, the parents, are the key to this activity. If you show excitement in this activity, in studying the weather, your young child will be eager to learn as well. Hey, winter is rapidly approaching. We might as well find some value in the upcoming wind, hail, snow, and chilly temperatures. 😊
