Thunder and Lightning Activities
Anyone got any thunder and lightning crafts/activities to share?
We get thunderstorms so seldom would like to do something related to distract and support any los who are a bit scared. Personally, I love it so hopefully that will rub off on them.

Keep smiling!

We're going to do glitter thunderstorm pics as I have all girls in today. (The boys usually reject glitter lol)
We might also put a jar/cup outside and she how quickly it fills as it is THROWING it down outside.
You could get musical instruments and make thunder crashes! Or make your own rains sticks
Long cardboard tube (I used kitchen roll holder)
Insert some metal screws in the sides at all angles (just push them through, making sure they don't poke out the other side)
Roll in tin foil, scrunching one end shut with foil but leaving one end open (make sure the foil is longer than the tube so you have excess at both ends to scrunch inside to keep rice etc inside)
Add rices, buttons, pasta etc
Seal other end by scrunching tin foil over
Cover in glue and tissue paper to fully seal everything inside
Shake shake shake, makes a lovely homemade rain maker xx

I love these ideas

we played some classical music that gets louder and quieter and used drums and claves, playing quietly then getting louder and doing crashes for the thunder and lightening.
all mine are a bit wary of the thunder so thought it might help alleviate their fears
if you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always got

Excellent ideas everyone, will be doing lots of them.
However, just to show planning often goes to pot as soon as I put a bowl out explaining to the los we would see how much it filled up with the rain which at the time was bouncing off the patio, the sun came out and has remained out all day, typical
