Trace an outline of the United States, your state or your city on a large poster board to create a map. Glue on images to help children visualize where they are on the map and other locations they are familiar with, such as nearby landmarks. Laminate your map and post it at a low level in the area you will use for your weather station. Alternatively, you can do the same with a large piece of felt.
Draw or print pictures of clouds, smiling suns, rain drops, lightening bolts and snow flakes onto paper. Laminate these and put double sided sticky tape on the backs so children can stick them to the map as they pretend to be meteorologists. If you have a felt map, make the same images by tracing outlines of the symbols onto scraps of felt, then cutting them out and decorating them with fabric paint. Pre-made felt weather symbols can also be purchased instead if you prefer.
Obtain professional-looking adult clothing from your closet or a thrift stores. Use suits, dresses and accessories that a weather reporter would wear. Add these to the weather station so students can dress the part of television weather reporters.
Crumple a piece of aluminum foil into a ball and stuff it into the end of a paper towel tube to make a microphone. Decorate the paper towel tube with paint or stickers. Add this to the center to be used while the children forecast the weather.
Include a list of weather-related terms, such as sun and rain, with corresponding images next to each word. Add a desk, paper and pencils so students can practice writing the weather words and pretend to write their scripts.
