My dear friend Karen at Little Acorns is having an uber-cool giveaway for a "Van Gogh the metereologist" activity. She took the painting "Starry Night" and made it so that the city was detachable, and then she created different sky backgrounds, similar to those in his other works.
The idea to let the kids check the weather, and then make the city's weather correspond with the sky.
Tornado approaching! Take cover, little town!
To enter her contest, you post a comment stating HOW you would use this activity with your kiddos. Good luck winning!

Thanks for posting this! You're the best-est ever! : )
I'm visiting after seeing your post on the HOmeschool Bloggers Haven Yahoo Group.
I've got to say that I LOVE the idea of changeable backgrounds to reflect the weather. It's also reminded me to start searching on Andy Warhol so the boys and I can do an artist study while the Anchorage Museum has an exhibit on him. Sadly, art studies often take a back seat in our house....
