Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Rainy Day Umbrella Preschool Craft


Stuck inside with your preschooler on a rainy day? Short on craft supplies? Then improvise! Check your pantry, bathroom, closets – you can find something in almost any room to use for a craft. This Rainy Day Umbrella Preschool Craft uses colored sugar and cupcake baking cups from the pantry and cotton balls from the bathroom. Gather up a few things and get creative!

What You Need
Sheet of Paper – any will do
Glue
Scissors
Cotton Balls (or even marshmallows!)
Blue Colored Sugar (or glitter if you have it)
Baking Cups (cupcake papers)
Chenille Stems (or tooth picks, spaghetti noodles, etc. for the handle)

How To Make It
Step One:
Spread glue all over the piece of paper and sprinkle the blue sugar “rain.”
Step Two:
Stretch out some cotton balls and glue onto paper to make “clouds.”
Step Three:
Cut three baking cups in half and glue onto paper for the “umbrellas.”
Step Four:
Add handles to your umbrella with the chenille stems or whatever else you have to use. Now you’re done with your rainy day scene!
