Rain Cloud Kids Craft for Spring

To get in some April shower fun, we came up with this adorable Rain Cloud Mobile that is so cute, I could see it hanging up in any room permanently. I hope you love it as much as we do. See all of our spring activities here: Spring Crafts and Activities for Kids 

Rain Cloud Kids Craft for Spring

This craft goes well with our Rain Cloud Science activity. 

Supplies:
Blue paper or blue paint samples
String
Scissors
Empty fruit cup or yogurt cup
Cotton balls
White Glue
Tape
Glue dots (optional)

Directions:
1.  Cut 5 pieces of string 12 inches long. Fold your blue paper in half, draw one half of a raindrop on the paper starting at the fold, then cut the tear drop out while the paper is folded.

Open your rain drop and use it as your template. Draw and cut 15 rain drops for each cloud mobile. I cut out our rain drops, but I am sure older children could cut their own out.

2. Carefully poke two holes on the bottom of your fruit cup. Cut another piece of string and lace it through the holes, then tie it at the top so you can hang your mobile.

I used a small knife and gently spun it around to make each hole.

Ready for second rain drop

5.  Tape the strings around the inside of the fruit cup and your done!
