Clouds for Preschoolers (FREE nomenclature cards)

Saturday, April 28, 2012

We had a week of wonderful weather so I grabbed the opportunity to discuss about clouds since we’ve been staying mostly outdoors.

I made these 3-part cards of the different type of clouds.  As you can see, I only talked about basic types like the cumulus, stratus and cirrus.  Then I added those ones which we mostly see here like contrails, fog and lenticulars.

My son loves to hear me talk about mother nature.  Especially those of which he can easily relate to.  So after we discuss clouds... each day he would peek into our verandah and check on what type of clouds he sees!  It’s just amazing!

I also asked him if we could make cloud samples using cotton balls.  He got very excited.  We started with cirrus clouds.  I reminded him that cirrus clouds look like feathers... so they should be thin.

This is what he came up with.  He finds it difficult to glue thin layers of cottons though, they tend to stick together.  But I was glad that he was patient enough to produce the best cirrus cloud he could make.

Then his favorite, the cumulus clouds.

And the stratus, and he did not forget to add his name.  He admired his work and asked me if we could show it to his Dad later.

So this is the easiest way I could introduce clouds and their different types to my son.  We’ll be taking this one at a time...baby steps.  For now we’re doing basics, I plan to add more topics like Water Cycle for Preschoolers and more types as he progress and old enough to digest these concepts.
