Craft: Windsock
Children were given a piece of cardstock chopped in half longways and six pieces of crepe paper about a foot long each.  The children colored the cardstock however they liked before gluing the crepe paper along one of the long bottom edges of the cardstock.  The cardstock was then glued into a cylinder to make it a windsock.

Literacy Extensions:
- After reading Diary of a Baby Wombat, have your child keep a simple diary for a week.  If they are not yet writing, have them draw their activities during the day.
- Talk about weather and why we have to wear certain types of clothes for different types of weather.
