Weather Mobile Craft
Do you have a budding meteorologist in the class? This craft project is a good way to teach children all about the weather outside. Combine with a walk outside to discover and talk about the weather of the day. Keep a chart all week, then make this fun weather mobile that they can hang in their rooms.
Materials:
• Kraftykid weather mobile template
• Yarn
• Scissors
• Wire clothes hanger
• Cardboard paper towel roll
• Paper hole punch
• Paints
• Scissors
Instructions:
1. Print the free, downloadable Kraftykid weather mobile template, 2 per child.
2. Cut out all of the shapes. You will have two of each picture.
3. Cut a long slit all the way down the cardboard roll and punch holes about 1inch deep from the edge, spaced about 1 1/2 inches apart so that you have six holes.
4. Paint the roll and let dry.
5. Cut 6 pieces of yarn in varied lengths.
6. Knot each piece of yarn several times so that the knot is bigger than the punched hole.
7. Pull each piece of yarn through a hole in the roll so that the knot keeps the yarn in place.
8. Slide the roll onto the clotheshanger and twist it so the holes are at the bottom.
9. Glue the piece of yarn between the two matching pictures.
