Author Monique B

  • Ziploc Quart Food Storage Freezer Slider Bags, Power Shield Technology for More Durability, 34 Count
  • Sharpie Fine Point Permanent Marker, Assorted Colors, 12 count
  • AmeriColor, Royal Blue.75 Ounce Bottle, Soft Gel Paste Food Color

Ingredients

  • A quart zip top bag
  • Water
  • Tape
  • Permanent marker
  • Optional- blue food coloring

Instructions

  • To make it a bit more fun and to help children understand the process better the first thing you want to do is draw land/water and the sun on your bag using a permanent marker.
  • Make a clear water line.
  • Next, fill the bag with water just to the water line, and add blue food coloring if you wish, again this gives the impression of water and helps kids see the process a bit better.
  • Seal your bag well and tape off the top.
  • Find a sunny window in the house to hang your bag in, be sure it is secure.
