What Do I Wear? Make Weather Clothing Tags

Does your preschooler have her (ahem) own sense of style, shall we say?  Preschoolers, aside from having their own idea of what they would like to wear, often times need help deciding how to dress for the weather. This simple activity is not only a fun project to do with your child, but it's also a helpful way to organize that calamity of a closet she may have, while helping her to gain some independence in choosing what she'll wear each day.  It's all part of growing up!  And who knows?  You may even want to make a set of these for your own closet!

What You Need:

• Twist ties
• A hole punch
• Bottle with circular bottom
• Red posterboard
• Blue posterboard
• Marker 

What You Do:

1. Create circles (as many as you may need) on your red and blue posterboard by tracing around the bottom of a bottle.
2. Write WARM on the red posterboard circles and COOL on the blue posterboard circles. Explain to your child that the red circles are for warm days and the blue circles are for cool days.
3. Cut out the circles and punch a hole at the top of each one.
4. Put a twist tie through the hole and attach each circle to the neck of the clothes hanger.
5. Match clothing to the appropriate circle.

**Quick Alternative**

Tie ribbon around clothing hangers—blue ribbon indicates cool weather and red ribbon indicates warm weather.
