Cloud Watching {with a book and activity idea}


It is getting super nice here and we just love being outside! Last week we spread out on the grass and watched the clouds in the sky after reading Little Cloud by Eric Carle. We talked about what shapes we saw and what each cloud moved like. 

After spending some time outside we came in and did a little art project. I put a white blob of thin, white paint on some blue paper and gave Bug a straw. Before doing this project I made sure she knew how to blow out of the straw, not in! 


Then I showed her how to blow through the straw at the paint so that it moves and spreads. 


PLEASE be careful not to let your child {or yourself} blow too hard for too long as not to get light headed. 

When you are finished you can look at your cloud painting and see if it looks like anything!

Bug said this looked like her Bear Bear {her little lovey that she sleeps with sometimes}

Don't forget to link up any outside play you do at our ongoing link party!
