Puddle Jumpers

Playing in the Rain

Goldilocks has invited her little bears to come and play

OUTSIDE  the art room, just for today.

   

             (Because it's raining)

 

 

The worms will think they’re giants, Rain puddles will be sky 

Blue Bird will be watching from up on high

 

                 (Because it's raining)

 

Goldilocks and her little bears will dance in the rain

There is always magic when they’re together

 

                 (Even when it rains)

 

                                      ~C Schell

Rain

The rain is raining all around

It falls  on fields and trees

It rains on the umbellas here

and on the ships at sea.

~ Robert Louis Stevenson

 

 

Marbled Milk Paper  Butterfly

"The Bird Friends of a Country Doll" By: Caroline Stetson Allen

 

" I hope." said Alice, "that you feed your babies wisely, on the creamiest of milk such as our clover gives."

 

"Milk!" exclaimed the bluebird in disdain. "My babies wouldn't look at it! Insects are what they like best."

 

"Insects," cried Alice, and her eyes grew as big as saucers.

 

"And worms," said the bluebird.

 

Alice fell flat on her back with horror.

 

"Why certainly," said the bluebird. "What is there surprising about that? Just try a worm someday."

 

"Give me some water!" Moaned Alice faintly.

  • 
Almond Milk preferred (Cow’s milk may be substituted)
  • Dish soap
  • Eye Droppers (optional)
  • Q-tips or toothpicks
  • Food Coloring
  • Watercolor paper
  • Tray/Shallow Dish
  • Step One: Cut your watercolor paper to a size that easily fits within your tray. Place the stack of paper near your tray; once your start swirling the colors you will have to work quickly to get the best effects.
  • Step Two: Pour roughly 3-4 tablespoons of almond milk into a tray; basically enough for a thin layer of milk that covers the bottom of your tray.
  • Step Three: Add in drops of food coloring around the milk.
  • Step Four: Add a couple dollops of dish soap around the tray. The soap and food coloring will now start interacting.
  • Step Five: Using a q-tip or toothpick, begin swirling the colors.
  • Step Six: Before the colors get too mixed together take one sheet of paper and lay it on top of the milk mixture. Press down. Gently lift it, set aside to dry, and continue with additional sheets.
  • Step Seven: Let everything dry completely.

Part one experience is going outside and dancing in the rain (moving, jumping, splashing, twirling) to a rhythm 

 

Part two is students drawing a self portrait of themselves dancing in the rain.

 

While students are on carcpet revisiting rain stories or at tables drawing selfportraits, small groups come to the table where we create our milk paint and paper prints. We use descriptive  words for colors, actions, and sounds of rain as we quietly work.

Dancing & Singing in the Rain

a. Respond in movement to a variety of sensory stimuli (for example, music/sound

 

b. Find a different way to do several basic locomotor and non-locomotor movements. Hop  like a frog, waddle like a duck,wiggle like a worm, flap like a bluebird, twirl like the umbrella

a. Respond to suggestions for changing movement through guided improvisational experiences. 

b. Identify parts of the body and document a body shape or position by drawing a picture

 

Rain Walk

Hopping over puddles

Exploring rivers

Looking on an upside down world

Though a lake's eyes

Pretending to be giants 

in an earth worm's world

And exploring the muck

under the drain storm pipes

We took a rain walk

And I was their guide.
