Rain Cloud Mobile: Cut out cloud shapes from white paper and attach them to a string. Hang them from a wooden hoop or a branch and add blue raindrop shapes made of construction paper. Raindrop Sun Catcher: Cut out raindrop shapes from clear contact paper. Stick them to a window and add blue tissue paper squares to represent rain. Umbrella Painting: Cut out an umbrella shape from paper and let kids paint it with bright colors. Add a handle made of pipe cleaners or ribbon. Paper Plate Rainbows: Cut out a semi-circle from a paper plate and let kids paint it with rainbow colors. Add cotton balls to represent clouds.
