AnonyMouse_4544 Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 Windy Day box windmills .......large garden type and hand held ribbons attached to curtain rings to fly in the wind streamers bubbles windsocks balloons confetti windchimes foam frisbees cheerleader pompoms nearly forgot kites and one of those super light fabric balls. The parachute isn't in the box but we use it on windy days too. rainy day box umbrellas tarpaulins to sit under and listen to the rain wellies containers to collect the rain rain guage oil and food colouring to add to puddles foil containers (like you get from the take away) listen to the sound of rain plopping into them chalks to draw around puddles paint for 'real' water colour painting we did the shed with poster paint in the rain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted September 29, 2007 Share Posted September 29, 2007 This is something I downloaded from Leicestershire Council website. It has some stuff in resources at the back with ideas for weather boxes. You need acrobat to open it, that's the format from the council site. It's got some really good info about learning outdoors. Hope it helps. Sally outdoor_learning_publication_2.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
