How’s the Weather? Fun!

Have you ever noticed that everyone likes to talk about the weather? When you’re with a group of people and you can’t think of anything to say, why not bring up how great (or how nasty) the weather has been?

4-H Cloverbuds can now talk about the weather, too! And they will probably have more knowledge than most of the people around them… if they’ve been to the session where you have taught the new “Weather Fun” Cloverbud kit!

The new kit was made available as a fundraiser for the Jefferson County 4-H Committee. The kit is made up of songs, games, crafts, snacks, stories, and science experiments. The kit will help you as volunteers discuss things that may be hard to discuss, such as fear of storms and what we can do to be smart, not scared, during big storms.

The science experiments included with the kit are hands-on and Cloverbud-age appropriate. Even your five-year-old Cloverbuds will be able to make a rainbow on a sunny day and go home and share that rainbow with their families. Four of the experiments are set up to be repeated at home- using materials found in every home. The fifth experiment (the cyclone tube) requires a special tube that most families won’t have, but it is included in the kit because it is so awesome to see.

One of our goals in working with Cloverbuds is to help them learn to talk- both in conversation and public speaking events. Using this kit will give them the basics of talking about something everyone likes to talk about… the weather! The kit can be borrowed from your county Extension office and includes activities that can be used in any of Ohio’s four seasons. Borrow it soon. Email to reserve it now!
