Making it rain

My little Chipmunk is really interested in the weather right now. We read about Winnie the Pooh and his sunny puddle days several times a day. When I found this little experiment online, I knew it would be perfect for him! We took a mason jar about 3/4 full of water and added a shaving cream 'cloud' at the top. Chipmunk understands that it rains when the clouds get too full of water, so all we had to do was add food coloring with a dropper until it rained. This definitely works better with undiluted food coloring, not mixed with water like we did here in the pictures. He had a great time making it rain and we got the added bonus of playing with the shaving cream too (now you see why I diluted it!)
