It is raining!!
In June!
In Phoenix!
In my little part of the world, rain in June is unheard of. So why not break out some fun rainy day activities?
One of my all time favorite rainy day things to do is watercolor rain painting. Use watercolors and create a design. Put your painting outside in a light drizzle for a little bit. Watch the amazing effects and designs that occur.
Catch a rain drop! I love doing this, and then painting the raindrops once they are baked.
Make a rain gauge. It is so interesting to see how much rain actually falls; sometimes it feels like a foot of rain has fallen from the sky when actually only 1/4" came down, Using a recycled 2 liter bottle with measurements marked in Sharpie is an easy, free way to create a rain gauge. Place rain gauges in different parts of your yard. Do all the gauges have the same amount of rain?
The absolute best, all time favorite rainy day activity is to simply play in the rain. Forget all that other stuff. Just go play in the rain.
Have fun!!
