Drift off into the Clouds

You can do this activity at any time that there are clouds up in the sky, but it works best when clouds are puffy and there is a breeze that transforms the shapes of the clouds. Compare the shapes of the clouds to objects in your world. Let your imagination be your guide. Relax, share your observations with each others and enjoy the view.
