These cute ideas were listed in one of my homeschooling newsletters.
One lovely activity called 'Rain Painting' can only be done when
the weather is inclement. Younger kids in particular go for
this project, for which they'll first have to put on hats and
raincoats to protect themselves from the elements. Each child
gets their own paper plate and is encouraged to drip a few
drops of harmless food coloring onto the surface. When they get
into the rain, the rainwater mixes with the coloring drops to
make fantastical patterns. A heavy rain will wash off the
coloring and make it a quick and fairly unsatisfying project,
so aim for a light rain day.
Here's a great project for a rainy day that brings the rain
indoors; and kids love it! Using a small bucket or other
receptacle that's ideal for catching rain, go outdoors and
collect enough rain to fill a spray bottle for each of the
children. When filled, add food color to the bottles. Have
the kids decide which color they'd each like to use, but be
sure that no two are the same. Tape a super-sized sheet of
white paper on the floor. This can be messy, so be sure to
protect the floor surrounding the paper. When everything is in
place, allow the children to simultaneously spray the tinted
water into the air over the sheet of paper.
