Paint Nature with Water

Take some paintbrushes and a bucket of water outside for some fun, mess free art! Kids can paint the fence, the path, or anything else that they feel like.

This activity can lead to some great discussions about evaporation and the water cycle. Make a puddle on the concrete and draw a line around it in chalk.  Check on it regularly during the day to see what happens.  To extend this idea, you could make a puddle in the shade and a puddle in the sun and draw around them in chalk.  What do you notice?

Click here to watch a wonderful kids video all about the water cycle.

Check out our Make a Terrarium Nature Connector to see how to make your own tiny world and see the water cycle in action.

Thanks to our friends at Taupō for Tomorrow for this Nature Connector! They have created this awesome padlet about the water cycle, check it out.

You can extend this activity by looking at our Learn about Clouds Nature Connector.

Hi, I’m Kim and I work with a great team to help individuals, as well as small and not so small businesses get their message, product and services to the world using digital media and creating wonderful websites that don’t cost the earth.

I was born in Canada, and grew up around Vancouver and the mountains of British Columbia. My love of pristine environments led me to New Zealand and eventually to the mountains, lakes and rivers of the central North Island which is home. My family’s heritage is here, and it’s from here that Korio traverses the planet.

The digital world is never static and neither are we.

And I say ‘we’ because I work with an awesome group of talented people who I gather together as required to complete a project.  Whatever your business, not-for-profit or individual needs are we gather the best team to get the job done.

Collaboratively we are creative, share sustainable values and work hard for great outcomes because that’s the buzz of satisfaction that drives us.

If you have an audience and market to reach, we can make that happen. Creative design, words that work and smart behind the scenes stuff that cuts through the online noise. We’ll design your website and then build it. We’ll manage the content as well as all your hosting needs. We can handle your online advertising so you get noticed,
and we’ll manage your social media presence so you get the clicks, likes and engagement to grow your business. All within the budget you set, because none of this needs to cost the earth.  And the job doesn’t stop when your website goes live. We are your virtual business partner.
