Let's do this

*Illustrative age guidance. Your child's development and circumstances matter more than a number.

A tiny plan for your day

Estimated time: 1 min to look · 3 min to draw · 1 min to stick it up. It's fine to stop early.

Before you start

What you’ll need

  • A piece of paper with seven boxes, one for each day
  • Crayons or stickers

Let's begin

Four simple steps

That's the whole activity. Tick each step off as you go, and stop whenever you like.

  1. Each morning, look out of the window or step outside.

  2. Talk about it. Is it warm or cold? Can you see clouds? Is the washing blowing?

  3. Little one leads

    Your child draws a sun, raindrops, a cloud or wiggly wind lines in today's box.

  4. At the end of the week, count. Which weather did you have most?

All done!

That's every step. However it went, you made a little moment together.
