Rain and Clouds

Today during craft time, we read some books about rain and talked about what you wear in the rain.

 

Then we did some experiments! 

Rain experiment: First we filled up a glass with water and then we put shaving cream on top (the shaving cream was the clouds), then we dropped in blue food colouring and waited. All of a sudden it started to rain! 

 Cloud Experiment: For this one, we unwrapped a bar of IVORY soap, placed it on a plate and put it in the microwave for 90 seconds. We watched it grow into a big cloud. Once it cooled down we took it out and played with it.

Lastly, we made our umbrella crafts! First we cut out the tops of the umbrella, then we decorated them with stickers, bingo dabbers, and crayons. Then we glued a popsicle stick to the back.
