Weather Symbols

We've spent a few minutes making these weather symbols. Feel free to use these weather symbols on your website or in your school classroom. Click to zoom.

See how this teacher used our pictures. Thank you. Also see here for another classroom.

Update 10 July 2011! We've added outlines (but haven't finished yet - should be done soon). The outlines are below the images. Kids just need to add a few birds, trees, and maybe a plane or helicopter.
