Playing with clouds. What stories can you see?

The lazy days of the 365 Day Nature Play Challenge when we do nothing but watch the clouds and see what they have to tell us.

276 – Making stories in the clouds

Monday 31 March.  Sunny.  16°C

We have big plans to go to the beach later but on the way to school B finds the perfect challenge.  The sky is blue with little wispy clouds.  She’s watching a plane going past them and says it’s looks like it’s blown out a huge white cloud.  Then she thinks the little clouds look like flowers.  I think they look like the white streaks they have in cartoons sometimes when something moves quickly.  Coming back, they’re thinner and less pronounced. B says it’s like waves on the beach coming in and out.  One looks just like a giant feather.   It’s like a giant storybook.

212 – More cloud stories

Sunday 1 June. Cloudy with sun patches 18°C

We’re surprisingly tired and low energy today after the big ‘no electronics’ day yesterday. Too lazy for a bit adventure we find ourselves cloud watching again. There’s a big bank of cloud lowering itself towards some little fluffy ones. I think the little fluffy ones look just like a big gorilla walking. B disagrees. She sees a witch, with a pet dragon, meeting a unicorn.
