What You’ll Need

• Cardstock
• Markers
• Adhesive magnetic sheet

What to Do

1. On cardstock, draw a wolf, sunglasses, a scarf, and types of clothing including boots, hats, and other accessories.
2. Color the shapes and place them on the sticky side of an adhesive magnetic sheet.
3. Cut out the shapes. Place them on a refrigerator or another magnetic surface. Each day, ask your child to match the wolf’s clothing to the weather outside.

Extend the Fun

For younger kids: Instead of a wolf, make a Weather “You.” Draw your body on cardstock and cut out one of your school pictures for a face. Dress “Magnetic Weather You” the same way you dress the wolf.

For older kids: Make a rain gauge from a clear glass jar. Track daily and weekly rainfall, and record each measurement in a notebook.  At the end of the month, compare readings to determine the rainiest week.
