Award Winning Children's Outdoor Thermometer
It drives me crazy when my kids come down in the morning, in the middle
of winter, in shorts or a summer dress. They will also put their coats
and sweaters on when its 70+ outside and getting warmer. They all want
the independence of choosing their own clothes, but the weather around
here can be somewhat unpredictable from day to day. Wouldn't it be nice
if there was a way they could make smart clothing decisions without
mommy regularly having to tell them they were wrong and to get
redressed.
That's why I was so excited to receive this award winning Kidknows TM Outdoor Thermometer.
It easily installs on your window, and it shows the outdoor
temperature. The best part is that next to the temperature levels are
clothing options that match the weather. The clothing is even pictured
in color levels that change as the temperature increases. The idea is
for your kids to learn about weather and temperature and to be able to
make their own intelligent decisions about what to wear.

So for the last several mornings, after we installed the thermometer,
my kids have run down the stairs to see where the red line is on the
thermometer and what clothes they should put on for the day. It has
been so exciting for them, and they are actually choosing clothes that
are appropriate for the very hot summer weather we've had. It has been a educational tool in our house as well as a convenience item for me.

This
thermometer is great for a classroom as well. Teachers could make use
of it while teaching students about weather, and then when it is time
for recess, children could quickly look at the thermometer to know if
they were required to wear either a coat or sweater outside. This would
have been helpful at our school during this past spring. Mornings were
still nippy so my kids would wear a coat to school. Without thinking
they would put it on for recess, and then when they got outside it was
too hot. They would take their coats off on the playground and then
forget to pick them up and bring them back in the house. As a result I
spent a lot of time after school searching for coats, and one of them we
never found.
