Read Together
You can download the books to read together.
Read these free, sharable books from our friends at Storyweaver about the Sun, Rain, and Reading! You can download and save them and keep them forever, to read again and again:
Things to Do Together
- Draw together: take turns helping each other draw the sun, clouds, rain, and snow. If you draw half of the picture, can they draw the other half?
- What color is the sun? Can you find items in your house that match the sun’s colors?
- Draw clouds and write a number in each one – can your child draw that number of raindrops falling from the cloud? Would they like to add themselves to the picture holding an umbrella?
- Cloud drawing – spray some shaving foam onto a surface and let them draw cloud pictures in it. This is a great sensory activity and easy to clean!
