Its fun to pretend about the weather.

With some chalk and a camera, you can design your own weather scene to be a

photo backdrop!

On a sidewalk or driveway, use colored chalks and make large drawings. First,

draw a life–size open umbrella. Then add raindrops all around it- but not under

it (umbrellas block the rain). When you are done, you can pose under it,

pretending to hold an umbrella in the rain while a friend takes your picture!

What other weather scenes could

you draw?

Could you draw a chalk lightning bolt

with a child trying to catch it, like a

superhero? Could you draw a rainbow

and take a photo of a child sliding

down it? Could you draw a cloud in

chalk and have a child pretend to sit

on it and catch birds or airplanes?

TIP: If you don’t have a safe place to draw outside, large paper or taped

together newspaper will work too!
