Also during our theme on "Spring", we made special Homemade Rain Gauges from water bottles! Simply cut the tops (up to 2 1/2 inches down) off the bottles, turn them upside down for a funnel, mark out the inches ont he side of the bottle and set them out to collect rain! We were lucky enough to do this during a week when we in Dallas got TONS of rain- On the 2nd day (pictured) we had collected 2 1/2 inches and by the end of the week we had gotten so much rain that they were overflowing!!! The kids LOVED this project so much!
