National Weatherperson's Day!
Weatherman’s Day “commemorates the birth of John Jeffries, one of America’s first weathermen”. Jeffries was born on Feb 5, 1745. He kept weather records from 1774 to 1816.
I found the following "activities" we can participate
Make clouds to hang from the ceiling by gluing cotton balls on white paper shapes.
Place 3 - 5 large drops of water towards the center of a colored piece of paper. Fold the paper in half and rub it. Open your paper up and it will hopefully look like a picture of a cloud!
Make clouds out of clay.
Draw cloud shapes on white paper using a white crayon. Paint over the entire piece of paper white thinned paint to reveil the clouds.
Make a sun out of a paper plate.
Make some Rainbow Stew (http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/rainbows/l/blrainstew.htm) (not edible!).
Check out this Rainbow Coloring Page (http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/rainbows/l/blcolorrainbow1.htm).
Make this Rain Hat Craft (http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/summercrafts/a/blrainh1.htm).
Make an Umbrella Picture (http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/summercrafts/a/blumbrpic1.htm).
Make your own Wind Sock (http://familycrafts.about.com/cs/gardendecor/a/blwindsock1.htm).
Make a Snowy Painting (http://familycrafts.about.com/library/projects/blsnowpnt.htm).
Well, isn't that special!
