Paper plate weather station

We were recently sent a box of arts and crafts supplies from Baker Ross. The children really enjoyed opening them as they sent a mixture of fun craft kits and supplies. These foam weather stickers immediately caught our eye.

There aren’t many photographs because this is a quick and easy craft activity.

Time to make: 10 minutes

Equipment needed to make a paper plate weather station:
paper plate
brass split pin
pencil
card
scissors

First of all find the stickers which represents as many different types of weather as you can find. Arrange them around the inside rim of the paper plate, remove the paper backing and stick them in place.

We drew an arrow on a piece of coloured card and cut it out, then I attached it to the centre of the paper plate with a split pin.

Baker Ross faom weather stickersThis makes a really easy paper plate weather station. It’s a great activity for talking about the weather and helping to learn some new words to describe the weather too.

You can move the arrow to show the weather, which in this country means moving it every hour to show the sun, wind or rain. Don’t you just love the crazy British weather 🙂
