Rainy Day Fun or Weather Unit Treats

Here's a cute idea for fun cupcakes to brighten a rainy day or highlight your study of precipitation, the water cycle, or weather. Connect it to literature, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, and serve meatballs for lunch. Follow the link for the cupcake directions. Another good book on the water cycle would be The Magic School Bus Wet All Over.
