Last week was the perfect week to learn about weather. It was rainy and the temperatures were all over the place. I focused much of Lorelai’s learning on clouds, the water cycle (very brief description), rain, and rainbows. I definitely could have done more, so I’m putting this one down to revisit later. Here are […]
Cloud & Rainbow Craft
This was another fun craft that I’d had planned for earlier in the week, but life got in the way. So, we did it this morning to finish off our weather week. We talked about rainbows before and how they are the product of lighting reflecting off of water droplets. My rainbow-loving girl didn’t really […]
Puffy Paint Cloud
Every well-seasoned craft table needs a little bit off puffy paint! =) Lorelai had fun painting with this mixture. It’s fluffy, soft, and really easy to make. We did equal parts school glue & shaving cream. Actually, I’m not sure if it was actually “equal” parts because I just eyeballed it. It’s not an exact […]
{ Rain Cloud Experiment }
I saw this awesome experiment over at Teach Preschool the other day and knew immediately that this is what we needed to round off our weather week. We were really busy last week and weren’t able to get anything done Thursday or Friday. So this morning (we had nothing to do) Lorelai and I went […]
2-Letter Beginner Sight Words
I made some weather-themed, 2-letter beginner sight words printable. Lorelai knows most of these words but it’s nice to have them on hand as flashcards. As mentioned, these can be cut out and used a flashcards. I provided light lines on the printable to cut out in uniform squares, or you could just cut out […]
Homemade Cloud Dough
Smooth, fluffy, soft, and FUN! That’s cloud dough. =) Lorelai loves making play dough and slime, and she loves her cloud dough now as well. The best part? It only takes two ingredients. 4 cups of flour 1/2 cup of baby oil MIX MIX MIX! That’s it. =) I added a few extra squirts of […]
Weather Printable for Preschoolers
I made this cute weather sheet for Lorelai to fill out each morning. I laminated it (as shown) so that she could re-use it over and over again. You could just stick it in a sheet protector if you don’t have a laminator – it works the same way! I also added in a spot […]
