Fireworks.
We had a great time making these colorful
exploding fireworks! I gave each child a straw that I had cut a couple
 of inches off of. This makes it easier for them to blow the food coloring
around on the paper. I dropped one color of food coloring at a time and
had them blow the coloring with their straw.The kids figured
 out if they wiggled the straw as they blew the colors their colors
would go "crazy". They had lots of fun  making the colors run crazy.
They were very proud of their art work!

Rain painting
We decided to make our own rain today. Kids in Phoenix
don't see much of  the real stuff!The kids stayed busy dipping 
their paint brushes in very wet watercolors and then 
tapping the brush and  making it rain all over their paper. They thought
it was so funny when the "rain" splashed on their hands and even their faces
 We should of worn our smocks to cover our clothes,they were rained on to!
Thank goodness for washable paints!
Supplies needed
construction paper
