Ideas for summer, fall, winter and spring

Seasonal poster

A great way to track the changing seasons with your young child is to make a seasons poster.

• Divide an A4 piece of board into 4.
• Draw 4 tree trunks on. Label each one in turn by a season.
• For summer glue on cut out cardboard leaves and red apples, autumn - leaves in red, orange and yellow, winter leave bare or with cotton wool for snow and spring leaves in a bright green with pink “blossoms”.
• Laminate and make a little cardboard arrow for your child to move when appropriate. Attach the arrow with a brad in the centre of the board.

Rain Gauge

If you are in an all year round rainfall area you can make a simple rain gauge by cutting a 2 litre cooldrink bottle in half. Insert the upturned pouring side into the bottom half. Mark off 1 inch/cm measurements on the bottom and check after each rainfall.

Weather chart

Using the same principle as the seasons chart divide your cardstock into 4 sections. Label each part in turn "Sunny" "Rainy" "Snowy" "Cloudy". Place your arrow in the centre and allow your little one to check the weather and move the arrow each morning.
