How’s the Weather Preschool Project

Do you have a budding meteorologist? My little one signs and complains about reading or doing letters, but her favorite is numbers and science related topics. She always wants to talk about planets, anatomy, and counting. In fact, she’s sitting beside of me reading her Counting Numbers book while I write this! So I broke out my hoard of toilet paper rolls and we made a little (super easy, preschool appropriate) weather project.

How's the Weather Preschool Craft Project

Supplies:

  • Empty Toilet Paper Rolls
  • Foam Scraps
  • Craft glue
  • Pom Poms- I used plain white and Tye Dye colored ones from craftprojectideas.com
  • Blue Construction paper
  • The Weather Stencil Printable

Print out the Weather Stencil Printable. Cut out the shapes.

To create the cloud:  Cut out the cloud on a piece of scrap foam using the Weather Stencil Printable. Glue white pom poms on the foam. Let dry. Glue the ‘cloud’ to a toilet paper roll.

To create the rainbow: Cut out the rainbow on a piece of scrap foam using the Weather Stencil Printable. Glue rainbow pom poms on the foam. Let dry. Glue the ‘rainbow’ to a toilet paper roll.

To create the raindrops: Cut out the raindrops on a blue construction paper using the Weather Stencil Printable. Glue rainbow pom poms on the foam. Let dry. Glue the ‘rainbow’ to a toilet paper roll.

To create the sunshine: Cut out the sunshine on a piece of scrap foam using the Weather Stencil Printable. Glue the ‘sunshin”’ to a toilet paper roll. Let dry.

We have had fun with this every day. My little one’s job every morning is to ‘check the weather’ when she gets out of bed. She then has to choose the correct weather item and place it out for everyone to see. Fun times!!

    Very cute! I have a stockpile of empty toilet paper rolls, so this would be a perfect project for my preschooler!
