How to make a Weather Chart

If your house is anything like mine it is littered with bits and pieces of art crafted by children relentlessly. Some of it is fabulous and different and makes its way onto the Breakfast Room wall, the best pieces of which eventually find their way into a scrapbook. Some pieces are ‘distributed’ to Grandparents who dutifully display it on their fridges when we come to visit, but that still leaves a lot of work that I feel I can’t throw away.

The school holidays are upon us, leaving nothing but me to occupy PD for the next 52 days, so I am gearing up to keep her busy with crafts and playdates, a few trips and a little learning here and there. The starting point is our weather chart, made using a good handful of these spare pieces of art.

Step 1: Using a dinner plate as a template, cut a semi circle from some card (in this case, a scribbled-on one.)

Step 2: Having first established what kind of weather you want to include, cut the relevant shapes from other artwork. In this case, we assumed that the summer would not involve snow or violent storms. An image for wind was tricky until a google image search made me realise I could just draw a kite.

Step 3: Get your helper to stick all the bits in the right places. Readjust as needed.

Step 4: On some white paper or card, print out the words that are relevant to the images and stick in the appropriate places. Cut an arrow (remember to check that it is the right length for your semi-circle.)

Step 5: Laminate your chart and arrow, for longevity. Cut out.

Step 6: Punch aΒ  hole in both the arrow and the chart, then use a split pin to fix the two together. Stick the back of the split pin to the rear of the chart with sticky tape to prevent it swivelling around and annoying you.

Step 7: Enjoy talking about the weather.
