My kids hate when it rains, they can’t jump on the trampoline, they can’t do bubbles, they can’t use sidewalk chalk! I found one thing that my kids love doing every time it rains though. They love making rain pictures. These are easy to make and turn out cute.
Supplies:
- Paper
- Blue Tempera Paint (this is found in the craft section at almost every store, very cheap and easy to clean up!)
- Colored Pencils, markers or crayons
1. Allow your child to create a scenic picture. I usually tell them to make a picture of all the things rain helps to grow. In doing this, I get pictures of lots of flowers and grass. If your little one is still too small to draw, go ahead and help them by drawing something for them.
2. Give them a small dish of blue paint and allow them to use their finger tips to create rain drops all over the place.
This project is so simple, but my kids still love to show off their rain pictures. This can also help in teaching them about rain and how is helps plants to grow. As your children are creating the rain drops, explain how rain helps the environment and how plants are only able to grow when they are watered.
