clouds
Book: It Looked Like Spilt Milk by Charles G. Shaw
This is a great book with simple text about the different shapes of clouds. Read it aloud to your early bird the first time then have them read it with you. Eventually, the predictable text should be easy enough for them to read it on their own.
Activity: Shaving Cream Clouds
Shaving cream seemed the best substance to imitate puffy clouds. I sprayed a bunch on the kitchen table and put out my daughters play dough cookie cutters so that she could make shapes in it. Some worked better than others. The fact that some of the shapes were harder to see, just resembled clouds even more.
Snack: marshmallows
The different sizes and shapes of marshmallows that are available make a great "cloud" snack.
