Instead of being bored and climbing the walls, why not use the weather to your advantage!
Here are some ideas:
Powdered paint
- Powdered paint is brilliant and super easy to use
- (if wether is sprinkling or light rain, otherwise you will be pulling your artowrk out of a neighbouring tree!
- Find a peice of paper or fabric, the larger the better
- Go outside under an unbrella or decking shake the powered paint over your paper/ fabic
- Go back under shelter and watch what happens to your work as the rain hits the fabric/ paper
- Once you have a wonderful pattern of raindrops bring under the cover to dry
- Now it is dry, hang up or cut out designs
- How wonderful would it be to make your own cloting patches, bags, canvass’s! Your only limited by your imagination
- Ok so it is pouring outside why not go on an adventure…..
- Together create a cubbyhouse/ ship/ tent
- Use blanket, sheets, pegs, whatever takes your fancy
- This is a great space to read, draw or act out an adventure
- Why not even have dinner in your creation!
- So it has been raining….. alot
- The ground is all muddy and wet
- Sounds like fun to me!
- Grab some old, warm clothes and head outdoors
- Look at the garden. Are there any changes since last time you looked?
- Where are all the insects, birds, worms?
- Does the garden smell different
- Jump in some puddles - talk about volume
Changes in our weather are a constant, why not use this time to encourage and discover maths and science concepts together!
