By Deb Chitwood from Living Montessori Now

I love weather activities ... especially in the spring when the weather can vary so much. I have lots of free weather activities and printables for you today! These work well for spring or any time of year. You'll also find a weather-themed newsletter subscriber freebie at LivingMontessoriNow.com! 

You'll find many activities for preschoolers through first graders throughout the year along with presentation ideas in my previous posts at PreK + K Sharing. You'll also find ideas for using free printables to create activity trays here: How to Use Printables to Create Montessori-Inspired Activities.
