We Use Water

Remind children that everyone on Earth needs and uses water. Most of Earth is covered with it. We drink it, wash with it, swim in it, and more. Invite children to make a drawing about water as it moves, coming out of a faucet, falling down as raindrops, crashing as waves on a beach, or some other way. Encourage the use of a variety of art media as they illustrate flowing water.
