This activity, from the "if you can't beat 'em, join 'em" department, makes the most of rainy weather.

WHAT YOU NEED
• Paper plate (Chinet or other uncoated plate
• Food coloring
• White crayon

Time needed: Under 1 Hour

Step 1:
Sprinkle a few drops of food coloring on a paper plate.
Step 2:
Get into rain gear and walk outdoors with the plate for about a minute and watch as artistic designs appear.
Step 3:
Next, for a batik effect, try drawing a white crayon design on a new plate. Then add some food coloring and head out.

That sounds like something my granddaughter would love. We will have to try it.
