Looks like we’re in for a few rainy days. If you’re looking for a little something to do with the kiddos try some raindrop art!
Here is a little activity to do with the little ones to beat the rainy day blues.
What You’ll Need:
White Cardstock
Food Coloring (all colors)
Rain coat
Rain Boots
Put down some old newspaper to protect your table top
Give each child a piece of cardstock and let them drop some food coloring on their sheet
Suit up and head outside
Put each sheet out in the rain and let them watch their masterpiece transform right before their eyes…
Jump in a few puddles then bring your Picasso’s back inside
Once your artwork is dry, they can decorate/embellish with stickers and maybe even draw a rainy day scene with some markers.
Other Suggestions:
Let them use only 2 colors like yellow and blue so they can see that when those colors combine you get green!
Great books to read with this activity are:
Raindrop Plop: by Wendy Cheyette Lewison
The Color Kittens: by Margaret Wise Brown
This is an awesome idea! Looking forward to the next rain shower!
