Activity guide for this page

Recommended age: Ages 7–11
Estimated time: 35–50 min
Difficulty: Challenging
Areas to color: about 340

Coloring order

Start with the clouds and the tall anemometer on its tripod in the middle. Clear blue for the sky and silver-gray for the spinning cups.
Color Nari gripping the pole, Toto beside her and the red-striped windsock on the right, alternating colors stripe by stripe.
Last, add small touches: the clear tube of water on its base below, the railing and buildings behind, and the green trees.

Questions to talk about

Is the wind blowing from the direction the windsock is pointing?
What shapes do today's clouds have, and what do they look like?
How would observing from the rooftop differ on a rainy day and a sunny day?

Take it further

Keep a weather diary using a sun, cloud or rain picture and a wind arrow for today. It turns into a rooftop weather-station game.

Age and time are rough guides for a child coloring alone with pencils or crayons; every child is different. The area count is an estimate counted from the line-art image.

Printing and coloring tips

Print on A4 or Letter in portrait to keep the original proportions.
Keep the finished version open beside you while you color.
Use slightly heavier paper with water-based markers so the ink shows through less.
Fill the large areas first and leave the small ones for later.
The finished version is only a suggestion. Any colors you like will work.
