Dress for the Weather

👕 Do It Myself⏱ Quick Play · 5 min⏱ Discovery Play · 10 minAges 3–4, 4–6

You need

  • a hat
  • socks

Nice to have: a scarf

Steps

  1. 1. The grown-up calls out a weather: “It is snowing!”
  2. 2. Your child puts on the right things by themselves: hat, socks, scarf.
  3. 3. “Now it is sunny!” Take them off again.
  4. 4. Your child calls the weather for the grown-up.

⚠ Safety · Stay nearby

Scarves loose, never tied tight. Take them off before running.

Stop if:

  • Something gets stuck — help, then try again

Easier

Only a hat and one sock.

Harder

Put on a jumper or a coat by yourself.

Only 5 minutes?

Two weathers.

Why it matters: Dressing yourself builds independence and coordination.

Clean-up: Hang everything back on its hook.
