It’s Wacky Weather Wednesday!

On this stormy rainy day, we created an indoor rain storm experiment in a jar.  We used a jar full of water to simulate the atmosphere and shaving cream as a rain cloud sitting on top.  We used blue food coloring to drop into the cloud filling it with “rain”.  As the food coloring trickled downward, it fell through the water similarly to how rain falls through the atmosphere.  This helped us to focus on how rain and clouds work rather than the sounds of thunder outside which can be a bit unsettling.

Many of our friends have been interested in making “bug homes” outside to attract insects, especially pill bugs, as they wake up from winter time.  We brought this interest indoors today for some imaginative play.  We used sand sticks and rocks to build our own homes for bugs.  We got a chance to talk about where different kinds of insects and spiders might like to live. 

A few of our friends used their puppets that they made Friday to put on a puppet show today!
