Pipette Rain and Cotton Clouds

(Art and Craft)

A simple rain cloud craft that is do-able for a toddler to simulate rain coming down from the sky.

Materials:

-glue

-blue liquid watercolor paint

-plastic pipette

-cotton pads, torn into “cloud” strips

-tray

-clipboard

-books, boxes, or other items you can use to prop the tray up so it is tilted at an angle of approximately 30 degrees

Instructions:

-add liquid watercolors in a palette or small container

-ask your toddler to squeeze the paint onto the paper, using pipettes

-add glue to one side of cotton pads

-ask your toddler to stick the clouds on top of the paper

We had a topic about waterfall, rainfall, stones and mountains today. For art and craft we made rain and clouds using the pipettes.

Y managed to stay focused a bit before running around because it was almost time for lunch. That is why the rain drop was rather characteristically scarce. After lunch then we continued with adding the clouds.

She kept saying “rainfall” the whole day each time she saw this picture. One can only hope that someone else would do as instructed. With a toddler, that is unlikely always the case though. She intentionally put the clouds at the bottom of the paper instead of the top. Oh well, she definitely gave this rainfall a personal toddler’s touch.
