I am feeling pretty quiet today. Not my chatty self. . . WEIRD! I have a great project perfect for a rainy day to share though, so follow the pictures with brief descriptions or our little rain experiment and don’t worry I’ll have plenty to say tomorrow.
Rainy Day Experiment
what you need: rain ~ objects made of different materials
We used cotton fabric, a metal bowl, a plastic toy, a paper towel, a stick, and cardboard.
M and M put them in the rain.
We waited. . .and yes all of Little M’s clothes are backward.
The kids got a little wet, not too bad though!
We talked about the objects. Did they look any different? Did the kids think the rain had affected the materials in any way?
We touched, pulled and then discussed our findings.
Have fun and stay dry!
This post is a part of the Rainy Day lesson plan.
What a great idea! I will have to try it next time it rains.
Come back and tell me how it goes!
Hi ~ found you through No Time For Flashcards. This is a great idea. It is the simple things that our little ones learn the most from. I look forward to following your blog!
Welcome! I agree it is the simple activities that are the best received. Maybe because they are so simple that Mom can be totally focused and not fussing over details!

Thanks for the reminder that the very simple lessons are all it takes sometimes! It’s snowing here… but I’ll remember this one in the spring!
Very cool idea! So simple but what a strong point to make.
