Capturing Parenthood

Tornado in a Jar

in Activities, Toddler Zone on June 7, 2018

We had so much fun making our Shaving Cream Thunderstorms, that we decided to stick with the weather theme and create a Tornado in a Jar! Learning about tornadoes was a natural transition, since they typically originate from cumulonimbus (or thunderstorm) clouds. While we see our fair share of thunderstorms during the summer months, we have thankfully never experienced the destruction of a tornado. It’s an added benefit of living close to the mountains, where it’s more difficult for tornadoes to fully form.

Since our little nugget has never seen a real tornado, I pulled up a few YouTube videos for her to watch, so that she knew exactly what we were trying to emulate during our experiment.

A tornado is a rapidly rotating column of air, that is in contact with both the surface of the Earth, as well as the clouds above. Most tornadoes have wind speeds of less than 100 miles per hour, and travel a few miles before disappearing. But some extreme tornadoes can reach speeds over 300 miles per hour, and travel more than 100 miles. And did you know that the majority of the world’s tornadoes occur right here in the United States? The US averages around 1,200 tornadoes each year…most of which occur in what is known as “Tornado Alley” which stretches from Texas, all the way up to North Dakota.

Another little known tornado fact…tornadoes typically spin in a counterclockwise direction in the northern hemisphere of the Earth, and they spin in a clockwise direction in the southern hemisphere.

Ok…that’s enough fun facts about tornadoes…let’s get to the experiment!

I came across this Tornado in a Jar experiment over on Kirstie’s @littlehandsbigimagination Instagram feed. And I was pleasantly surprised to learn that the experiment only requires just a few household items. Easy, right? I must admit, that while this experiment is really quite simple, I had a tough time producing a tornado…at first. So, in order to alleviate those issues for you, here are the hiccups that I ran into:

  1. The need for proper ingredient measurements. Kristie’s post states to add a generous amount of dish soap. Generous to me means a few big squirts, but as I later discovered…you only need to add 1 teaspoon of dish soap (and 1 teaspoon of vinegar).
  2. I initially intended to use a mason jar for this experiment, and after several unsuccessful attempts (even with the correct ingredient measurements), I decided to ask Google for help. As it turns out, mason jars don’t always work for this experiment, because they are not completely round (their corners tend to be more squared). So, I decided to gather one of our go-to (and completely circular) Voss water bottles (that we use for all of our sensory bottles). It worked like a charm!

After a few minor adjustments, I was finally able to swirl the bottle and produce a tornado! Our little nugget came bolting back to the table to watch (she had since given up on our efforts, and wandered off to find something better to do). πŸ™‚ Once the tornadoes were in full force, she was fully engaged!


Tornado in a Jar

Supplies:

Tornado in a Jar Β© Capturing Parenthood

  • Clear Bottle or Jar (make sure it is completely circular)
  • Water
  • 1 Drop Blue Food Coloring (you don’t want to use too much, or the water will be too dark to see the tornado)
  • 1 tsp. Dish Soap
  • 1 tsp. Vinegar

Instructions:

  1. Fill the clear bottle or jar with water, leaving at least 1″ of space at the top.
  2. Add 1 drop of blue food coloring, and swirl to incorporate.
  3. Add the dish soap and vinegar.
  4. Cap the bottle, and make sure the lid is tight and secure.
  5. Hold the bottle by the lid and rotate it in a quick, but steady, circular motion for several seconds…until a vortex begins to form.
  6. Set the bottle down on a flat surface and watch the tornado in action!

We had a lot of fun making tornadoes, after all of our early trial-and-error. But it was a good lesson for our little nugget (and myself)…NEVER GIVE UP! All of that waiting patiently, combined with the numerous tornado creations, just might have made her a bit goofier than normal (as you can see in the above video). πŸ™‚

And as it turns out…if you let your tornado bottle sit undisturbed for a couple of hours…it turns into a super cool sensory bottle! To be honest, this unexpected surprise may have been my favorite part of this little experiment. I could sit and watch all of the beautiful and glittery swirls floating around in the bottle all day long! Couldn’t you?

Have you and your kiddos ever made a tornado in a jar? I would love to hear all of your tips and tricks, in the comments below.

Ok...@artwithmrs.e Haunted House project is hands- Ok...@artwithmrs.e Haunted House project is hands-down the best Halloween-themed art project out there! πŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ
We had a blast creating haunted houses for homeschool art this month! 🧑
...
We followed Kaitlyn's extremely helpful Haunted House Drawing Guide (you can find it over on her Teachers Pay Teachers account) and completed the project over the course of 3 lessons.
...
During our first lesson, we sketched our houses in pencil, and added some eerie exterior landscaping. πŸͺ¦πŸ¦‡
We popped in a few spooky characters (ghosts, spiders, pumpkins, and a vampire). πŸ‘»πŸ•·πŸŽƒπŸ§›
And then we traced over our pencil lines with black Sharpie.
...
During our next lesson, we used a coloring technique that we learned from Kristian @friendsartlab ❀️ We colored our pictures with oil pastels...and then painted over the top of the oil pastels with baby oil...it causes the oil pastels to bleed and blend together! 🀩
...
During our final lesson...we added more spooky characters to the inside of our house...that can peek out behind the doors and windows. πŸ’€πŸ§™β€β™€οΈπŸ‘»
To do this...I used an X-acto knife and carefully cut around the outside edges of the doors/windows (leaving the hinge sides intact so that they could fold open and closed).
We placed yellow construction paper in the background...and added witches, ghosts, skeletons, a mummy, and a Frankenstein! 😍
This step made our haunted houses really come to life...and we just can't thank Kaitlyn @artwithmrs.e enough for sharing this awesome lesson and drawing guide! THE ABSOLUTE BEST! ❀️❀️❀️
...
It was very evident how much our daughter loved this project...as we worked through each step...but the thing that solidified just how much she enjoyed it was - one weekend morning I walked downstairs to find her and her dad sitting at the table - and she was very excitedly teaching him how to draw his own haunted house - while she drew a few more herself (scroll to the last picture in the carousel)! πŸ₯°

That's right...first-time pumpkin-growers over here...and it was all actually a bit of a surprise. πŸ˜ƒ
...
You see, when we went to prep our garden beds this spring, we noticed a plant that had already started growing. We assumed it was a cucumber plant, since it was in the same place we had cucumbers last year.
We left it alone and planted a couple of other cucumber plants nearby. πŸ₯’
At first, the leaves on our mystery plant looked very similar to the leaves on our other cucumber plants.
But a couple of weeks later the plant had grown A LOT bigger. It was now obvious that it was not a cucumber plant. But what was it? πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ
...
And that's when it suddenly dawned on these exhausted parents, that our daughter had spontaneously tossed seeds from her pumpkin (last Halloween), into the garden bed. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ The mystery was finally solved...and by the looks of the large golden flowers that were emerging all over the vines...we figured we might have a few pumpkins come fall! πŸ™ŒπŸŽƒπŸ™Œ
...
It was so much fun to watch the pumpkin plant grow! 🀩 We had to cut down the wire on one side of our garden bed to let the vines out...and they ended up growing 6-10 feet long in both directions! 😳 It was crazy!
They put out the most gorgeous flowers...that the bees absolutely loved! 🧑 And soon enough, we spotted a few round gourds growing at the base of some of the flowers. They grew quickly...and then turned a beautiful shade of orange! 😍
...
Needless to say, we are now officially pumpkin-growing people! πŸ˜‚ My husband can't wait to plant more next year...and he's already looking in to different varieties - hoping to grow some larger jack-o-lantern style ones next season! πŸŽƒ

Free the Frankensteins from the Frozen Rainbow Bra Free the Frankensteins from the Frozen Rainbow Brain! 😬🌈🧠
…
Yesterday, we shared how we made this colorful, frozen rainbow brain - full of Frankenstein mini erasers…and today we wanted to show you what became of our beautiful brain! πŸ˜ƒ
…
We popped it out onto a tray, grabbed a shaker of salt, a bottle of warm water (colored red for added effect), and some tongs.
And then it was time to Free the Frankensteins (our daughter coined the phrase)! πŸ˜‰
…
This spooky activity provides chilly sensory play, motor skills practice, and scientific exploration (salt and warm water speed-up the melting process)! πŸ™ŒπŸ™ŒπŸ™Œ
As an added bonus…you also get some color-mixing! And the addition of the salt makes it extra sparkly too! 😍🀩😍
…
Eventually, all you’re left with is some mini erasers floating in a pool of colorful water…and a happy kid! ❀️❀️❀️

We are definitely getting into the fall and Hallow We are definitely getting into the fall and Halloween spirit...so during a recent homeschool art session, we decided to make some air-dry clay pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns! πŸŽƒπŸŽƒπŸŽƒ
...
Back in 2019, Lauralee @2art.chambers shared several colorful, air-dry clay pumpkins that her students made...and after rediscovering the saved post, I decided that it would be a perfect October art lesson for us too! 🧑
...
We used various colors of air-dry clay, and rolled each color into whatever pumpkin shape we wanted...and then we added our lines/indentations using the side of a credit card. πŸ’³ The stems are just small, broken pieces of old crayons (another genius idea from Lauralee). πŸ– And we topped our stems with pieces of pipe cleaner, to create the little curly cues. 😍
...
Once we had our pumpkins...we decided to change things up a bit, and grabbed our stash of googly eyes. πŸ‘€ (Most of) our fall pumpkins then transformed into Halloween jack-o-lanterns! πŸŽƒ
We pressed the googly eyes into the clay, and we used a few small tools (that came with our box of air-dry clay) to add their mouths. πŸ˜ƒ
...
And now we have a cute and colorful crew of clay pumpkins adorning our mantle! πŸŽƒπŸ§‘πŸŽƒ

Andrew from @elementaryarts shared a patterned, bl Andrew from @elementaryarts shared a patterned, block letter name project a couple of weeks ago (I'll share the post in stories today), and I immediately added it to our list of art projects to do this year! 😍
But we decided to switch things up a little bit! Instead of using our names, we each picked a color that we like...wrote the name of the color in block letters on our paper...and created our color patterns using at least two different shades of our chosen color. πŸ–
...
This colorful project ended up being a lot of fun, and also very relaxing...as we all quietly focused, and zoned in on adding the color patterns around all of our letters. It was actually a bit hypnotizing! 🀩
...
Needless to say, we are really happy with the way our block letter color project turned out! πŸ™Œ We even had a special guest who wanted to join in on this art project! ❀️
...
P.S. We also used Andrew’s free TPT handout on how to make block letters! The bundle includes bubble letters, cursive letters, graffiti letters, and more! πŸ‘

I love the idea of doing a self-portrait project at the beginning of the year, and then again at the end of the year...so that we can see how much we've grown and changed.

We used Kaitlyn's @artwithmrs.e Simple Self-Portrait Drawing Guide and it was so incredibly helpful (especially for this new homeschool teacher who wouldn't necessarily list drawing as one of her stronger suits). πŸ˜‰

We looked through the self-portrait drawing guide to get different ideas for our eyes, nose, mouth, and hair. πŸ‘€πŸ‘ƒπŸ‘„

Now...if you caught our stories earlier this week, you know that our daughter recently made a pretty big change to her hair (that included a partial side-shave and bob-length cut - she also dyed it blue). πŸ’‡β€β™€οΈ
She was used to drawing pictures of herself with her long, blonde locks...and her new hairstyle proved rather difficult. But she persevered, and ended up with a self-portrait that she was truly proud of! πŸ₯°
...
When we were finished drawing our likenesses, we decided to cut them out and create a special background to glue them onto. I went with random black and white designs...and our nugget decided to draw various things that she loves (her family, winter, candy, books, dolphins...and more)! ❀️
...
It was such a fun project...and I can't wait to see what our self-portraits look like at the end of our school year! πŸ˜ƒ
