Calendar & Weather Chart

Circle time, at your kitchen table. A Today is… board with a slot for the day, the weather, the season, the month and the date — every slot sized to the cards that come with it. Cut out the day cards, the twelve month cards, the dates from 1 to 31, eight kinds of weather and the four seasons, laminate them once, and the whole thing takes two minutes every morning. There is also a season wheel with a cut-out arrow, a blank month grid to fill in together, a week-long weather graph to colour, a what-shall-I-wear page and pages to trace all seven days and all twelve months. Then play What's the weather?: the grown-up calls sunny, rainy, windy or stormy and the child does the move from the cards - stretch up, pitter-patter, sway, stomp. Draw a rain cloud and a kite in four easy steps, join the dots to find a rain boot, finish the other half of an umbrella, spot the difference, sort wet days from dry ones and find the way through three mazes.
