What you need

Paper, a large child-appropriate crayon, and a window.

Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

  1. Draw two columns and label them cloudy and clear, with a small picture for each.
  2. Look outside together and add one mark to the column that best matches what you see. If neither fits, add another column.
  3. Repeat on other days, then count the marks in each column and compare the totals.

Look outside from a safe place indoors. Never look directly at the sun; an adult stays nearby.
