Weather Playdough and Word Cards (Photo from Counting Coconuts)
March is a great time to study the weather. You can see almost any type of weather this month where I live and in many other places as well! Here are some Montessori-inspired activities to help you in your study of the weather. Most of the activities are for preschool through early elementary, although some are for middle- through high school.
