Easy Rain Cloud Science Activity

Happy Wednesday Parents!

I wanted to share a fun activity I did with my boys this morning.

What you'll need:
2 glasses of water
shaving cream
droppers (or straws)
blue food coloring

What to do:

Mix blue food coloring in one small glass of water

put shaving cream on top of the other glass of water

ask your preschooler to start dropping the blue water on top of the shaving cream

After a few times, the blue water will seep through the shaving cream, just like rain!

Explain to your children that the shaving cream represents a cloud and the clear water represents air. As the blue water saturates the cloud it gets heavy and eventually can no longer hold the water, making "rain"!

My older preschooler Keegan loved this activity. He was so excited when the rain finally seeped through the cloud, he actually started jumping up and down! Everett ( my 3 year old) on the other hand, loved the shaving cream.

Have fun!

Love,

Miss Kat

Prize Chart

Hi there! Within the first few weeks of being home it was obvious I needed to implement some sort of behavior chart for my boys. I did some research and found one online that I modified to what works for our little family. I wanted to share this with you today because it's been so helpful and it will for sure be something we continue doing. What I love about this chart is that it encourages good behavior but also teaches them to do the right thing in a way that's more at their level. My favorite thing about it though is that it also teaches my boys that we're all learning and that we can try again or start over when we're struggling. I think I like that because that's a life lesson I'm learning too. God's mercies are new every morning.
