PREPARATION OF THE STORY
I had great fun preparing the props for this story including making the rainclouds for the scenery, the rainbow banner, the wiggly worms, the pebble mats for the puddles, a rainy day bag for my coloured scarves, practicing the cloud in a bottle and magic flowers experiments, making rainy day curtains, the snail racing track and finally having a run through with my children to make sure all the elements of the story work. I hope you enjoy looking at the photographs of my journey!
Requirements for the story
- A hall, classroom or large space where children can sit and watch the story.
