Materials

What to do
1. Supply the children with paint, brushes, and paper.
2. Play selections of music that call to mind different kinds of weather such as snowfall, a thunderstorm, and a hot, sunny day.
3. Encourage the children to listen to the music and paint a picture that reflects what they hear and how they feel.
More to do
- Language: Record the weather in a journal; ask the children to describe something they do on a rainy day, on a windy day, in the snow, or during a thunderstorm.
- More art: Design a colorful weather journal.
