I Love Water.
Pledge:
I promise to love the water. I'll keep it clean, like I ought to. I'll let
it splash my bare legs or drink it down in great big gulps. I'm glad
I'm a kid who loves water.
Page 1:
Slosh, slosh, slosh. There's water everywhere I look! Clear water.
Deep water. Cold water. Hot water. I love water.
What's more delicious than a cold glass of water on a hot day? Have
you ever tasted purple water? Add a drop of red food coloring to a
glass of water. Now add a drop of blue. Stir, add an ice cube, and
sip. Ah! No matter the color, clean water is delicious!
Page 2:
I love water. Watch me hook a garden hose to the sprinkler and turn
it on. Do I dare run through? One, two, three--go! Eeek! It's cold! I
love water.
Have a water parade. Put on your bathing suit and call some friends.
Ask them to bring squirt toys. Single file, everyone. Ready?
Forward, march!
Page 3:
I love water. All I need is water and a bubble bath to make piles of
suds. Hills of suds. Mountains of suds. Look out! Stand back! It's
the Suds Monster! I love water.
Have your mom or dad hide small toys in the bathtub. Then add
your bubble bath and water. During your bath, search for the toy
treasures. How many can you find?
Page 4:
I love water--and I'm not the only one. All day long my goldfish
swim in their bowl. They swish their tails and always keep their
eyes open under water. I love water.
In a swimming pool or lake, float on your back and listen to the
sound of water. What do you hear? Now float on your front. Open
your eyes. What do you see?
Page 5:
I love water--especially rain. Watch it sprinkle! I open my mouth
and catch a drop...or two...or three. The thirsty plants like rain, too. I
love water.
Make this craft on a rainy day. First, fill a clean jar with water--not
quite to the top. Add a drop or two of dishwashing liquid. Sprinkle
in some glitter. Close it tight, and shake. It's raining! Glue a round
piece of felt or colored paper to the lid and add a ribbon border, if
you wish.
Page 6:
I love water. Splish, splash, I'm giving the car a bath. Squirt, squirt,
look out dirt! The water runs down the gutter and, suddenly, the car
is shiny-clean! I love water.
Get some friends together. Give everyone a paper cup. Fill yours to
the brim with water. Stand at the front of the line. At the signal
"go," pour your water into the next player's cup. How fast can your
friends pour the water from cup to cup? How much water is left at
the end of the line? Play the game again, only faster.
Page 7:
I love water. Waterfalls are wonderful, but there's only one way to
catch one. Do you have a camera? Aim and shoot. I love water.
Play a game of water hide-and-seek. If you're "It," find your friends
and squirt them--before they squirt you!
Page 8:
I love water. Go ahead, ocean--roar! And I'll yell, too. First, you
chase me. Then I'll chase you. I love water.
Find large box. Climb inside. Imagine what it would be like to be the
captain of a boat on the ocean. Can you feel the waves rocking?
Decorate your boat with paints.
Page 9:
I love water. After I play outside, it washes my clothes clean. It
washes me, too--with a little help from Mom. I love water.
Make a boat to float in the bathtub or sink. Crack a walnut in half.
Roll a small ball of clay and press it into the bottom of the shell. Cut
a tiny sail from paper. Poke the toothpick through the sail. Push the
toothpick into the clay. Happy sailing, captain!
Page 10:
I love water--clean, clear water. Who will keep the Earth's water
clean? I will, because I love water.
Find out more about water and pollution. Library books tell what
things people can do to keep water clean. Read the books with your
family.
