Book of the Week
One Rainy Day
By M. Christina Butler
Color of the Week
Black
Are the skies looking black (or grayish)
with all the April showers that will bring May flowers?
I know it sure has been raining here
With lots of black rain clouds!
See how many black items you can collect
In your child’s toys and the kitchen this week!
Song/Nursery Rhyme of the Week
Rain Rain Go Away!
Rain, rain go away!
Come again another day
All the children want to play
Rain, rain go away!
Letter of the Week
Snack of the Week
Rain Clouds
Grab a plate and make your clouds first
(out of marshmallow, fluff or cool whip)
Use raisins or blueberries for your rain drops.
Place these below your clouds and wah-lah!
You have a rain cloud snack J
Super easy and fun!
Art Project of the Week
Thumb Print Rain Drops
Create an umbrella (paint or draw) on a piece of paper
And/or
Clouds out of cotton balls.
Using blue paint, use different sized paint brushes,
Or thumb prints if your little one can handle all that
Sensory input on the fingers and make little blue rain drops!
Let it dry and you have a rainy day picture.
Field Trip of the Week
Go puddle jumping!
For those of you with lots of puddles from the rain,
Put on raincoats and rain boots and go jump in puddles!
Talk about all the rain and the water falling from the clouds!
If it hasn’t rained recently,
create a puddle or two in your own yard with a hose!
Have fun with this (and take pictures!)
App of the Week
With all the talk about rain, try out a kid friendly weather app!
Weather is a topic that is great for children to learn
(and that some preschools no longer teach!?!?)
Grab it here: Kid Weather
