One blue disc, divided into eight wedges, with a weather word curving round the rim of each in yellow capitals and a raised foam picture inside it. Reading round: WINDY has a green tree bending over grass. SNOW has a grey cloud dropping white dots. RAINY has a cloud with white teardrops. FOGGY has a grey cloud with a face and two yellow shapes. CLOUDY has three white clouds. SUNNY has a red and yellow sun with a smiling face. RAINBOW has a full arc between two white clouds.

The circle is the point. Weather is not a list, it is a thing that comes round again, and a wheel says that in a way a row of cards cannot. Nursery classes use it as a daily ritual — someone looks out of the window, walks to the wheel, and names the wedge. A child who does that every morning for a term owns all eight words without a single lesson being taught.

The eighth wedge needs explaining before you buy. Its word reads WEATHER rather than a weather type, and the picture inside it is a brown branch with red, yellow, pink, blue and green leaves — autumn foliage rather than a sky. It looks as though it was meant to say something like SEASON. It is still perfectly usable: most teachers treat it as the label for the whole wheel and talk about the changing leaves, but if you were counting on eight distinct weather types, this one gives you seven.

The banner above it is printed WEATHERS SYMBOLS, one S too many. The words inside the wheel are all spelled correctly, which is where the teaching actually happens.

Every picture is layered foam rather than flat print — the raindrops, the snow dots and the sun's rays all stand off the blue disc, and the clouds sit above the sky behind them. That depth is what makes the wheel readable from the back of a room and what lets a small child find a wedge by touch as much as by sight.

There is nothing adhesive on the back and no size is printed on the disc or the banner, so we claim neither. A round board is easier to hang from a single central point than a rectangle.
