Weather Window

Peer through the window panes! What's the weather? Kids use Color Wonder™ Markers and Paper to draw a window on the weather. The best part is it's mess-free!

1. To make your Weather Window, tear a 1-inch (5 cm) strip from the long edge of a piece of Color Wonder™ Paper. Tear another 1-inch (2.5 cm) strip from the short edge of the same paper. Place strips across the paper to form window panes. Tape the ends of the strips to the back of the paper.

2. What kind of weather do you see out of your window? What kind of weather do you wish you could see? Draw a weather scene on your paper, marking right over the strips. Add lots of details to the sky, trees, and buildings. Draw people's clothes to show the weather, too.

3. When your drawing is finished, pull the strips away to reveal window panes.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

"This is a favorite rainy-day activity. We all gather around the table to draw our weather wishes."
Martha N., family child care provider.

"Our kids made Weather Windows for each season. I cut them apart to make puzzles."
Arpiar G., father of 3- and 5-year-olds.

A barometer is a special weather tool used to measure atmospheric pressure and predict weather conditions. When the barometer level is falling rapidly, it usually means a storm is coming. When it is rising, fair weather is predicted.
