FLY A KITE
Buy a simple, inexpensive kite to take to a large, windy
area. Help your child put the kite in the air. Talk about the pull
of the wind on the kite. What happens to the kite when the wind
dies down a little? How long can she keep the kite in the air?

WINDY WALK
On the next windy day, take your child outside for a
walk. Together, look for all the things the wind is moving around.
Can you see a flag blowing in the wind? Is there a leaf being pushed
along the road? Are the tree branches swaying? Stand still for a
moment and enjoy the feeling of the wind blowing across your face.

BE THE WIND
Let your child pretend to be the wind. Place several
cotton balls on a table. Have your child sit or kneel so that he
can blow across the top of the table, sending the cotton balls off
the table with his breath.

WINDY
PAINTING
Let your child sprinkle a few drops of tempera paint
onto a paper plate. Then help your child take the plate outside
and hold it so the wind can blow the paint drops all around
to make a Windy Painting. |
WIND CHIME
SOUNDS
| Hang a wind chime outside. Sit inside with your child. Close
your eyes and listen to the sound the wind chime makes. Can
you tell by listening to the chimes if the wind is blowing gently
or wildly? Encourage your child to listen for the wind chimes
to tell her when it is windy outside. |
