- Ask children to draw a picture of their house or school or of themselves on a cold, wet day and label materials that parts of the house or their clothes are made from OR show children a large picture and ask them to attach labels to show what materials parts of the house/school/clothes are made from. Discuss with children why the materials are suitable and ask questions about unsuitable materials eg 'Would this paper make a good rainhat?' 'Would you like a scarf made of this plastic bag?'
