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

• 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.

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.
