Painting The Weather

Yesterday, we started to paint a storm.

We have these long, long rolls of butchers paper in our store room. And as it was raining, we decided to paint a storm onto the paper. I stuck down butchers paper with masking tape along the length of the table, put out some grey, light blue and dark blue paint, and let the kids take the lead from there. 
The first storm they painted was a big success, it even got the boys engaged in painting.
Unfortunately when we hung outside to dry on your clothes line (it was a bit big for the drying rack) it was windy outside and got all tangled and stuck to itself when we werent watching. We tried to save it but it ended up getting a big rip in it.
But we did make some another two (which I havent had a chance to take photos of yet) which we have decided we are going to stick to the roof, so we can look up at it during rest time.

We added this to our planning, and as the next fortnight progresses, we are going to add some hail, rain and lightening. 
I will definitely add pictures of this storm we are creating in a later post
