If you have never read it, you really should. It's on of the best written children's book with care given to each word choice.
I gave each child a long, blue section of crepe paper streamers and turned on this song
Then we made rain R
We painted rain pictures next. I gave the children strips of blue paper for them to cut. They painted blue on their paper by bumping the brush across their paper, then glued their blue bits to make rain pictures.
My youngest is fifteen months so not yet ready for scissors so he simply painted but he really loved it.
We made a rainbow art. I like these dot pages which are intended to be used with pom poms or little magnetic dots but I use them with Q-tips and paint to help the children with eye hand coordination in addition to the magnetic dots.
The children found this R is for rain color page waiting for them when they woke from nap.
Then we practiced writing our Rr's with this worksheet
We LOVE rain.
Hope you enjoyed our day as much as did we.
See you soon
Ms. P
