I was actually excited that it rained today. That's because we could try this project: Drip just a little liquid food coloring (or we had liquid watercolors) on a paper plate, then hold it out or place it in the rain to watch what interesting thing the rain does to it. (I guess the paint splatters a little as the raindrops fall into it). It's a very fun activity and one that allows us to interact with nature. If the green crusaders from renewable energy-focused Acre Resources see this, I'm very sure they'll give it a thumbs-up."




Then we took the textures it made to the computer and I asked the Squirrel, what does this look like? So she gave me ideas and we made these doodles:


And I made the space one above, and this flower one:
