Instructions:
Fill the Jar:
Pour water into your jar until it’s about 3/4 full.
Add the “Cloud”:
Gently spray a thick layer of shaving cream on top of the water to create your fluffy “cloud.”
Prepare the Rain Colors:
In small bowls or cups, mix a few drops of food coloring with a little water. Use one color or several for a rainbow rain effect!
Make it Rain:
Using a dropper or spoon, slowly add the colored water to the top of the shaving cream. Watch closely—once the cloud gets full, the rain will begin to fall into the water below!
Observe the Magic:
The colored water will drip through the “cloud,” mimicking real rain falling from the sky in this magical, hands-on water cycle experiment.
