Make it together

  1. Ask an adult to cut out a large white paper cloud and several big paper raindrops.
  2. Glue a few cotton balls to the cloud to make it fluffy.
  3. Make three long paper strips and glue one large raindrop at the end of each strip.
  4. Ask an adult to attach the strips to the back of the cloud, then display it safely on a wall.

Learn while you create

Sing a rain song and count the drops. Try light blue and dark blue for a pattern.

Safety note: Attach securely and display out of children's reach; hanging strips must never go near a neck or bed.
