DIY Rain Clouds and Summer Education with Netflix

July 31, 2014 by Jet Skidmore 8 Comments

DIY Rain Clouds

With school right around the corner, Netflix challenged us to get out of our summer funk and get our brains working. My kids are still pretty young, so I wanted to talk about something that is fun and relatable to them — these DIY Rain Clouds were perfect! It has been raining here a ton and my boys have been pretty interested in it. They are always asking questions.

I turned to Netflix to get us started. They have so many great resources. We watched The Magic School Bus and had so much fun learning about rain! My boys sat for an hour working on their “clouds.” I hope your kids enjoy this and it brings some entertainment and learning to your home!

To get started:

Place a few drops of each color in separate cups of clean water

Fill your large container with water and cover the top of the water with shaving cream

Let your kids fill their syringe with a color of their choice or they can mix and match colors.

Place the tip of the syringe in the shaving cream and watch the color run into the water.

We loved watching all of the rainbows that were formed in our water!

    I think that you can get additional education at any time of the year. I am currently learning English and I enjoy learning new words to improve my vocabulary. I recently learned this lesson https://promova.com/english-vocabulary/cooking-food-vocabulary and now I know almost all the words that relate to the kitchen and kitchen utensils. It was quite simple because every day I went into the kitchen and pronounce the name of the items and food in English.

    I believe it will be beneficial for many students. I’ve faced some highly challenging projects myself that required support, and that’s when I made the decision to seek help. A friend of mine recommended nurse writing services
    and I was delighted with the recommendation. I trust their services because they have a team of marketing experts, and their papers often yield the desired results at the university.
