What You’ll Do

Select different colored craft papers for the weather signs.

You could use white, cream or grey colored embossed papers for the clouds. Trace the cloud patterns on the selected papers and cut them out.

Select yellow and orange craft papers for the sun craft and the rainbow colors (purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and red) for the rainbow patterns.

Choose yellow for the lightning and blue for the raindrops. Once again, trace the patterns on the selected papers and cut them.

Use glue to stick the traced cutouts to complete the weather sign pieces (sun, rainbow).

Grab a cloud pattern and stick the small sun pattern on the backside of the cloud, with half of the sun visible from the front; this sign represents partially cloudy weather.

Stick the raindrops on the bottom side of any one of the cloud patterns to make the rainy weather sign.

Stick lightning on a cloud pattern; stick the two small cloud patterns on both ends of the rainbow pattern.

Stick each weather sign papercraft on a popsicle stick to complete the craft.

Preschoolers can use these signs to act out their favorite weather stories. They can check the weather each morning and choose the sign that matches the weather outside.

However you choose to add these to your preschool weather activities, they’re a great way to help kids identify different types of weather.
