Whoosh! The wind is blowing.

Look at the leaves dance.

Do it

1. Go outside on a breezy day. Stand still and feel the wind on your face. Say “wind”.
2. Watch leaves, grass or a flag move. Point and say what you see.
3. Hold a light scarf or ribbon and watch it flutter. Blow gently on a feather.
4. Collect two or three fallen leaves in a basket and feel them.

Talk about it

• What is moving in the wind?
• Can you blow the feather?

For the grown-up

Wind is moving air. You cannot see it, but you can see what it moves. Watch for dust and keep small leaves and seeds out of mouths.
