Description
A delightful DIY project that teaches about the water cycle while providing a fun, interactive experience.
Ingredients
- A clear jar (like a mason jar)
- Shaving cream (for the cloud)
- Food coloring (blue, to represent rain)
- Water
- A dropper or spoon
- A tray (to catch spills)
Instructions
- Fill the jar with water until it’s about three-quarters full.
- Carefully squirt a generous amount of shaving cream on top of the water to create your cloud.
- Using a dropper, pick up some food coloring and gently squeeze drops over the shaving cream.
- Watch as the food coloring seeps through the shaving cream, resembling rain falling from the cloud.
- Discuss the activity with kids, engaging their senses and imagination.
Notes
Swap out shaving cream for whipped cream or colored gel for varied textures. Use multiple colors for a vibrant effect. Experiment with different layers of density for additional fun.
