Dot the raindrops as you count!
Materials:
Instructions:
On a piece of cardstock paper, draw 3-6 clouds and number each. Underneath draw raindrops to correspond with the numeral on the cloud. For example, a cloud numbered 4 will have 4 raindrops under it. First, count each cloud while pointing to the numeral. Then, focus on one cloud at a time, identify the numeral, and count each raindrop. As you count the raindrops, dip the tip of a cotton swab into the blue paint and tap each raindrop to turn it blue.
Tip- Since you don’t need much paint for this activity, use the lid of the paint as the palette. Just unscrew the top and flip it upside down — it’s the perfect size palette for a cotton swab!
