Printable Weather Diary

Kids love the weather! Splashing in puddles, spotting lightning strikes and eating hailstones, if you don’t stop them in time!

Getting to know the weather is a great way for kids to learn about other important things too, like the days of the week, months of the year, numbers and colors. Starting a weather diary brings all of these learning points together and keeps them interested for weeks, not minutes!

This downloadable template contains all you need to keep your kids excited and learning all about the weather, using important words and numbers, as well as practicing their drawing skills.

How To Use The Weather Diary

 

  • Tick today’s day – If they struggle to remember the days of the week, a fab tip is to set them to music. Get clapping to the Addams family theme tune with this great song that really helped my girl.
  • Tick today’s month – Help them to get familiar with the months of the year by talking about things that happen in some of the months. Is there a birthday, special holiday or big event you could mention? Ask them to recall these each time you revisit this sheet.
  • Circle today’s date – If your child can count aloud but doesn’t recognise the written numbers yet, say them together as they follow along with their finger. Older children could be asked to spot the correct number by themselves.
  • Tick today’s weather condition – Look outside and talk about the conditions you can see. Tick the closest match. Get them thinking more about the different weather types. Can they name them from our pictures? What’s their favourite weather? What’s yours?
  • Colour today’s temperature – If you have an outdoor thermometer read it together. They will love using equipment and feeling like a meteorologist. The temperature can also be found online. Ask them to guess before you look it up. Gold star if they are spot on! Maybe have a competition and see who can make the closest guess. Or, if you haven’t had a chance to look it up yet, you could count the number of cricket chirps in 15 seconds. Add 37 and this will give you the rough temperature in Fahrenheit!
  • Fill the Rainfall Gauge – This can also be found online. Or, if you are feeling adventurous why not set up your own weather station? A great activity to get kids outside. A simple rain gauge can be made with a plastic cup and a ruler.
    • Add stones to the bottom of a cup, to stop it blowing over.
    • Starting from the top of the stones, mark millimetres up the side of the cup.
    • Fill with water to the top of the stones and place outside.
    • Check how much higher the water is after 24 hours.
  • Draw the Weather Picture – Finally, draw a picture of today’s weather. Use colours or embellishments to make it come to life.

Our weather diary can be printed, laminated and written on with a dry wipe marker every day to watch the weather.

Printable Annual weather Chart

The Printable Annual Weather Chart is a fun way for your kids to keep track of the weather and learn all about the different months of the year.

The chart will keep children excited about the weather for the whole year, allowing them to learn how to recognize how the weather changes, about the different seasons, and their favorite time of year.

Keeping their learning about weather and the months of the year together in this simple chart will let them look back on the year and feel super proud of their weather tracking skills!

Printable Annual weather Chart

How To Use The Annual Weather Chart

  • Have your child select a different colour for each weather type and colour in the key.
  • Check the weather each day.
  • Find the right square to colour using the months along the top and the days down the side.
  • Colour today’s square!
  • Repeat every day to build a colourful picture of the weather across the year.

As your chart fills up, get your child talking by asking them questions like ‘Which month was sunniest? Which month had your favourite weather? When did we have that big storm?

Did you know? The air around a bolt of lightning can reach 30,000oC. That’s 5 x hotter than the surface of the sun. Or, the same as the inside of a chicken nugget served at a cafe when your toddler is hangry.

Printable Weather Clock

Our interactive weather clock is a great resource for some hands-on weather fun. Cut out your child’s favourite clock hand on page 4 and use it to point to the correct weather on page 3.

A split pin will hold it in place and allow the hand to move. If you can’t find a split pin you can improvise with a pipe cleaner, paper clip or sandwich bag tie. Threading a bead halfway along, before you push your wire through is a great tip to stop it from falling out.

How To Use The Weather Clock

  • What’s the weather like today? – Display by a window or door and have your child move the clock hand to show the weather each day. A fantastic way to get them learning key weather vocabulary.
  • Show me – Name the weather types and ask your child to move the clock hand to show it. Make it trickier by saying things like ‘I would need an umbrella today’ or ‘I’d better not stand under any trees!’
  • Small world play – Introduce a new element into their small world play. Hang the clock by their dolls house, train set, farm or dinosaur land. Now they can move the clock to change the weather in their small worlds. Do the dollies need to put on their coats? Has rain flooded the track? Are the dinosaurs struggling to find water? You may find this simple thing breathes a whole new life into your old toys.
