This is a great indoor craft to brighten up a rainy day, and to help you remember what April showers bring! May flowers need lots of sunlight to grow, but first they need a lot of rain.

We're going to make a simple umbrella out of card stock, then learn two different methods of making brightly colored tissue paper flowers to decorate it. This project can be adapted to a simpler variation by skipping the step where we turn a circle into an umbrella shape, and instead simply making a cone.

Materials:

Colored card stock - one sheet for each umbrella

Tissue paper

Pipe cleaners - one for each umbrella

A plate for tracing

A pencil

Scissors

White glue

Step 1. Place the plate face-down on a sheet of card stock and trace around the edge.

Step 2. Make eight marks around the edge of the circle, then draw curved lines between them as shown. This umbrella pattern is very forgiving, so don't worry about spacing them perfectly! Cut out your umbrella, then cut a slit from one corner to the centre.

Step 3. Squeeze glue onto a triangular section of the umbrella, next to the slit, as shown.

Step 4. Roll your umbrella into a cone shape and hold the glued edges together until they're dry enough to stick. If you have any uneven edges sticking out, you can trim them.

Step 5. Poke a pipe cleaner through the centre of the cone. Fold down the piece poking out the top so that it is at double thickness; this will keep your umbrella from coming apart, and will also create a loop that you can use to hang it up at the end. Fold a section at the very bottom to double thickness, twist it a bit, and shape it into an umbrella handle.

Step 6. We're going to learn how to make two different types of tissue paper flowers. For both, you'll need to cut out lots of tissue paper circles (like the umbrella shape, you don't need to worry about making them perfect).

Step 7. Flower Number 1: Stack three circles together. Fold them in half, then fold in half again, then fold in half a third time; you'll now have a small triangle. Cut the top of the triangle into a curved petal shape, then unfold. Place a dab of glue in the centre of the first flower shape, then place the second flower shape on top of it; repeat to add the third flower shape. When the glue has dried, scrunch up the layers of tissue paper one by one and twist the centre at the bottom to form the flower.

Step 8. Flower Number 2: Stack three tissue paper circles together. Cut a fringe all around the edge, then glue together in the centre the same way you did for Flower Number 1. When dry, scrunch up the layers of tissue paper one by one and twist the centre at the bottom of the flower.

Step 9. Glue the flowers to the top of your umbrella. You're done! Hang them up to catch the sun.

Spring brings wonderful colors, warmer temperatures and pretty flowers, all because of the rain! Teaching children about weather helps reinforce the seasons which explain how our amazing planet works. Here is a fun rain cloud craft that uses a few different tools and makes a beautiful wall or window display when you're done. Have fun!

Things you'll need

2 sheets of white cardstock

Broken crayons

Wax paper

Iron

Hole punch

White or blue thread

Pencil sharpener

Bowl

Blue marker

Tape

Glue

Scissors

First, cut out a big fluffy cloud from your first sheet of cardstock.

Pre-soak your broken crayons in a bowl of water to easily remove the paper labels. Once the labels are removed, use a pencil sharpener to grate the crayons into shavings.

Cut out two sheets of wax paper the same size.

Sprinkle some crayon shavings evenly on one sheet of wax paper, leaving space around the edges. Lay the second sheet of wax paper on top.

Make sure your iron is set on the lowest setting. Starting from one side, quickly pat down the iron onto the paper until the crayon melts and both sheets of wax paper are fused together. Set aside your melted wax creation while it cools down.

Time to make some raindrops! Use your blue marker to draw raindrop shapes on the wax paper and cut them out.

Punch a hole in the top of each raindrop using a hole punch.

Tie some different lengths of thread to each raindrop.

Tape the threads to the back of the cloud and trim away any extra lengths.

You can make a cool 3D cloud by cutting out one or two more small clouds and attaching them with some glue.

To add the layers, cut out two strips of paper and fold them into a Z shape . Add some glue to the top and bottom of the Z shape to connect the clouds.

Hang your rain cloud craft in the window to see the beautiful effect of all the colors in the rain drops.

"A single gentle rain makes the grass many shades greener."
- Henry David Thoreau

Ułóżcie obrazki w rzędzie. Nazwijcie wszystkie po kolei. Następnie zasłońcie pierwszy. Ponownie nazwijcie wszystkie obrazki zaczynając od pierwszego zakrytego (też mówicie co się na tym zakrytym znajduje). Zakrywacie kolejny. Znowu nazywacie wszystkie zaczynając od pierwszego zakrytego. Wyzwaniem jest nazwać wszystkie zjawiska pogodowe po kolei jak wszystkie obrazki są zakryte. Powodzenia!
