Weather has always been one of my students’ favorite science topics to explore. This easy craft for kids makes a great addition to any weather unit. In this art project children illustrate different weather symbols and create a beautiful mobile using natural materials combined with their very own artwork. I love how cheerful these weather mobiles look hanging up!
