Weather Chart

I am doing a little preschool at home for my boys this year. They are only two so I’m keeping it pretty informal and simple. I made a few things for “circle time” I wanted to share incase any of you out there would like to do the same thing.

Part of our circle time will be talking about the weather and seasons. I made this weather chart wheel that we can spin to point to the weather each day. There are also cards we can place on the calendar so we can see the weather patterns through the month to hopefully give them a better idea of seasons.

Supplies Needed:

• Weather Chart
• cardstock
• adhesive
• brad
• foam core/chipboard (optional)

Instructions:

1. Cut out pieces. Glue to foam core or chipboard if you would like to make your chart more sturdy.
2. Layer the pieces with the wheel over top the background and the arrow on top.
3. To make the arrow spin, insert a brad through the arrow and chart. Glue the chart to the background.
4. The make the arrow stay still while the wheel spins, insert the brad through the arrow and glue the underside of the brad to the top of the arrow. After it has dried, place the brad/arrow through the wheel and background. Glue the brad to the background.
