Rain Dance

Just for the record, we're not actually trying to make it rain 

and cannot be held responsible for an precipitation that may or may not fall.

Make a pretend rain hat this week.

It can be made out of fabric, paper, a disposable bowl

whatever you have one hand.

It can be practical, imaginative, funny or whatever floats your boat.

Will it tie under the chin, fit tightly on the head?

Will it be see through or covered with buttons, glitter, paint?

Will it make noise when you dance in it?

Let it reflect your own likes and personality.

As your child listens to the pitter patter of rain drops or jump in puddles they are learning about the rhythms found in the sounds of nature as they explore their environment.

"Creativity in movement is an important key experience because it gives children opportunities for individual expression. Children learn more about themselves and their environment..."
