Make a grey cloud

What You Need:

Activity:

Black and white make gray for a cloudy day. The children can make their own rain clouds by mixing together a little black and white paint on their paper…

The children will explore weather with this activity and could recognize and the cloudy day and what color the cloud have when will rain. The children will use their hands to mix the paint colors, blend the two colors; they began to see different shades of gray emerge. The children can use their both hands to mix the paint, others use only one hand.

o   Toothpicks

Activity:

Pre-poke holes into the side of the paper towel rolls. Then the children poke toothpicks through the holes (glue both ends). Next tape one end of the roll closed. Add rice and tape the other end. Next let the children paint their sticks any way that they want. Finally, cut off any ends of the toothpicks sticking out. Now the children have a great rain stick made out of recycled paper towel rolls

Idea:

For weather paintings use glue and shaving crème mixed to make puffy clouds.

IV. Wind Art

What You Need:

o   Paint

o   Paper

Activity:

Have your children draw a picture of an outside scene (their house, playing on the playground, etc.) then have them put a few drops of light blue (almost clear) paint on the edge of a piece of paper. Using a straw have them blow the paint across the paper. This looks really neat and is a great way to symbolize wind in art.
