Louise, from Leeds, sent in this great idea. Let’s take a look at it…

What did you do?

We filled a transparent bottle half full of water and half of shaving foam (to make the cloud) we mixed food colouring (blue) with water and spooned onto the cloud, we counted how many spoons it would take before the cloud let the rain through.

It worked for us after 8 spoons of rain, probably best to use a small spoon.

Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…

My name is Louise, I have a 7year old daughter and a 3year old son who both really enjoyed this experiment. We are from Yorkshire, UK.

How are you finding being housebound so far?

I’m finding it ok, can be draining at times but luckily they get on really well and are happy to play together.

Do you have any tips for other parents?

Try get them involved in everything and lots of praise.

Has being part of our community helped you?

It has so many fantastic ideas! Things I never would of thought of.
