Enjoy the magic of clouds with this fun DIY craft!

STEP FOUR: For this next part you have to be quick and it can be done in one of two ways. Set the ice-covered lid aside, light a match and hold it over the opening of the jar for a few seconds. Drop the match into the jar and quickly put the lid back on. Watch as the hot air meets the cold ice and a cloud begins to form. If you’d rather not use matches, repeat the same process but when you take the lid off, quickly spray a few pumps of hairspray before replacing

the lid. After creating the cloud inside the jar, when you’re ready, remove the lid and watch the cloud escape. Some of these projects are more subtle like creating your own cloud, while others like a tornado are easy to recreate over and over. All of these experiments are designed for kids with adult supervision — as well as for adults who are kids at heart!
