Learning About Waterfalls and Rivers

Vito is 31 months old.

Another fantastic activity that we did this week was the making of waterfalls and river.

So easy to prepare! Some pipettes, watercolour (mix of tempera and water), and a tray!  I was just starting to prepare the materials and the boys couldn’t settle because they’re so excited of the activity.  The site of watercolour and pipettes excites them   By the way, for the watercolour, I prepared three colours for some effect: green, blue and purple.  The mixture turned out so beautiful!

So there, they squirt liquid into the paper.  A little advice, if you’re doing this indoor, try to cover your wall for some accidental splatters.

A few minutes of squirting water,  river was forming!  The water was flowing down from the board and forming into this river  form in the tray, the kids were fascinated!

We could have done this in our backyard, but it’s been raining for days. Irish summer is terrible, or should I say there’s no such thing as summer in Ireland. I doubt we’ll be having sunlight in the coming days.  The forecast says it’s going to be cloudy and rainy till mid July!

The kids highly enjoyed this activity.  Just make sure to protect your walls and use a large tray when doing this indoors.
