Le serpent de vent

Today we talked about different ways that we can make wind (with our body, with hot air, etc). 

I boiled a kettle (it works best if the kettle has a lid you can lift up/off to make a wider spout of hot air) and held the wind snake over the kettle. My kids were VERY impressed! 

We then took the wind snakes outside and they got to experiment with the wind. It was not very windy outside, so they ran around and made their own wind.
