It's like looking for a recipe on the internet, so many options that often times it is less overwhelming to look in a book on the shelf than stress about too many options.
This takes down the need to scour the internet for ideas. Early Years Activity Plans User, Melissa C. This is exactly what I have been searching for! Thanks for making something so organized and easy to use. It is so easy to just put up the calendar, and glance at it for inspiration when we are in a funk." - The Activity Room Member, Rachel I have found it impossible to Google ideas from a million different sites, get organized, shop for supplies, etc. "I absolutely love that this takes all the prep work out of engaging my children. Fun and easy ones that can be put together in a moment's notice! You're awesome Jamie and I appreciate you sharing your activities and ideas!! - Melissa C. I am so grateful to have activities handed to us. There's always something new for us to discover, as well as old favorites. Click for 50 paint tools, methods and recipes! This could definitely go into the paint collection as a fun method for kids to try. Whatever the result, it didn’t matter, the boys thought it was fascinating seeing what the rain would do to the art they made! George’s, you really couldn’t see the rain spots, but it did seem more blended together. Henry’s turned out with lots of dark dots, which he thought was just amazing. He thought his was the best (of course, his is the best everything!). We remembered the art that we did when we were getting home and Henry rushed to check it out. Of course, it poured when we were out for a walk. We left them be and headed out on a walk downtown. Of course, when we head out there… it doesn’t rain… we waited and waited… the boys kept coming back to check on them, just in case they missed the rain. When they had their papers covered how they liked them, we took them outside since it had been sprinkling on and off all morning. I showed Henry how you could used your finger to smudge the colors together. I let them choose two colors each (so we wouldn’t end up with muddy brown). They colored a piece of paper however they liked. I chose to have the boys color with chalk art pastels that I had on hand. I’ve seen Moment to Moment use oil pastel crayons… (by the way, look at the lanterns they made from the art, they’re fantastic!)Įven Little Page Turners used just drops of food coloring (my favorite)! I’ve seen Messy Kids use Kool-aid on paper. I’ve seen rain art be done a few ways… and I don’t think we chose the best… I finally took advantage of all the rain drops and the boys and I got to see the cool effects of rain! Its been raining pretty much non-stop the last few weeks (a horrible planting season for farmers in Iowa this year). Why?! Being outside when its sprinkling it so much fun! The boys just love it!
But it seems whenever it rains, we just hide indoors. I’ve been wanting to try rain art for awhile.
