Today is all about spring weather and, in particular, RAIN! Because you just can’t have spring without lots of it. ☔
Are you new to these monthly themes? No worries! You can join our FB group and print out the April School Calendar to get started! Just scroll to the bottom of this post and pop your email in so I can send it to you!
Keep reading below for Spring Weather Day activities and printables!
Day #2. Spring Weather Day!
Here is what we have planned for today! 🙂 Did you want to download and print out everything for this month all at once? You now can! Grab the Spring School Activity Pack here!
This 81-page PDF bundle comes with every printable you’ll need for this month PLUS extra printables (Baby Animals Notebook for Kids, Baby Animal Fact Cards, & Spring Vocabulary Cards). It is great for saving time by downloading and printing everything all at once! You’ll also receive a Spring School bookmark and punch card for your kids to use as they move through each themed day. 🥰
Activity Ideas
IMPORTANT NOTE: Most of these printable activities will be FREE for you to download, but only during Spring Weather Day! So, make sure to download them even if you are going to do Spring Weather Day later in the week – that way you can still snag them for free. If you could leave a review behind afterwards, that would be amazing too! THANK YOU!! 🥰❤️
#1. Label the Spring Weather Worksheet
Download this printable and print. Write or cut out and glue words from the word bank under the correct photo.
#2. Watercolor Rainy Umbrella Painting (Blowing with a Straw Technique)
Print this template out on cardstock. Trace the umbrella with a black crayon and paint the inside of the umbrella with watercolor paint. Then use a straw to blow blue watercolor paint down the paper to look like rain.
#3. Make a Rain Cloud Science Experiment
Print out this science experiment worksheet and choose a worksheet for your child (there are four different options based on your child’s writing level and/or your preference). Follow the instructions on the teacher guide to complete the experiment! For this experiment, you’ll need shaving cream, a glass jar or cup, blue food coloring and a dropper or spoon.
#4. Read & Hang Up Vocabulary Cards
Did you grab the Spring School bundle? You can read the vocabulary words for today and color in the word (optional). Hang up the vocabulary words on the wall or display board. The vocabulary words for today are: Breeze,
Rainbow, and Sunshine.
Books
(Note: Everyone has different book standards! I highly suggest skimming through any books before reading them to your kids, just to make sure it aligns with your family values first) 🩷
Today we’ll be reading, “Worm Weather” by Jean Taft and Matt Hunt, “I See Spring” by Charles Ghigna, and “Weather in Spring” by Martha Rustard.
However, if you were unable to grab these books from the library or store, here are the read aloud options on YouTube!
PS: If you have an older child, I recommend having them read 1-2 chapters from, “Charlotte’s Web” today!
