Age: 3–5 years; choose for the individual child.

Let's make it happen

  1. Draw water on the ground, a cloud, and a sun.
  2. Add an arrow rising from the water; explain that some water evaporates into the air.
  3. Add raindrops from the cloud to the ground and describe how water returns as rain.

Stay beside your child and put supplies away afterward.
