I have been teaching a six-session class called ¡Explora Español! this year. It combines language learning with simple crafts. Thus far, I had not found an easy idea to do with weather that I really like until I came across this photo.

My goal is to first teach the vocabulary and then do the craft completely in the target language by giving step-by-step instructions.
Here are the items you need:
- Decorative Clear Gems that are round on the top and flat on the bottom for the rain. I bought mine at Michael's, but these ones are probably similar just a bit bigger.
- These mini gold muffin liners for the sun.
- Cotton balls
- Gray Pipe Cleaners for the wind.
- Mini foam snowflakes
- Blue Cardstock
- White Marker (if you are doing the project on darker paper). Since I work with small groups and young children, many times I will write out the words ahead of time on their papers. Obviously, older kids can do their own writing.
Have fun creating and using the language!
