This gloomy, rainy weather we have had the past few days has made it impossible to get the children outside. Below are some great ways to incorporate April weather into your day!
April Showers song(to the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot")
Pitter patter rain drops (wiggle fingers to imitate rain)
Falling from the sky (wiggle fingers downward)
Here's my umbrella (action of opening an umbrella)
Hold it high! (hands over head)
When the rain is over (bring hands down slowly)
and the sun begins to glow (make sun with arms)
Little flowers start to bud (Kneel down)
then grow, grow, grow!!! (slowly stand up)
Talk to your children about the rain. Older children can learn about the water cycle with great information on the water link. You can do a bit of math/graphing practice by providing the child with the rain/sun template below. Each day during the month of April, have them color one of the squares on either the rain or the sun side (depending on what the weather is like).
Some great spring craft ideas such as muffin cup flowers can be found here.
