Little A's shadow is 4 rulers tall (Big A says that  if we would have measured her feet too she would have been a bit taller than that).

Weather: 
*The Weather Monkey - Little A is using a magnet set on our fridge - to tell day & weather and then to dress the monkey appropriately.

*Sunshine - Solar Pictures
Solar Print Paper was a lot of fun to explore & create with. We had to be quick with the paper. we took  out paper and put something on  top of it. 1-3 mins in the sun the paper turned from blue to white - then we put it in water for a minute for it to set, then we dried it.
