Making it rain rainbow colours in Barrie!

Little Scientist was so much fun this week, a little messy, but fun!

Science is a fun and easy way to learn.  Asking the kids questions, making them guess and just showing them cool things will grab their attention and get their little minds working.

This week we made rain... rainbow coloured rain!

We took clear containers full of water and added clouds.   Mounds of shaving cream made the perfect clouds!  We discovered that less was better for allowing the "rain" to come  through.

Once we had our clouds, we were ready to make it rain!  By dropping food colouring on top of the clouds, we waited patiently for the rain to come through.

We were able to see the colours stream through the shaving cream and into the water, looking just like rain!!

The kids were having fun trying to figure out what colour would come through first.

Once we were done learning, the play started!  The fluffy mounds of now colourful shaving cream was too much for the kids to resist!  The dug in and played in the foam until we had to take it away!
