As I sit here reading this my kids are in the paddling pool right now. Must go see if I can interest them in any of these ideas! Thanks for sharing at the Outdoor Play Party.

Could something like a piece of paper crumpled up stay dry in an upside-down bowl (like a diving bell)? If you take your hand or foot out of the water, does it feel warmer or cooler and why (evaporation)? My blog is at jozikaroo.com, and we'll post those experiments when the time comes and link back to you!
