Fingerprint Rain Craft Idea
Rain, Rain Go Away! Come Again Another Day. Little _____ Wants To Play!
Today’s Fingerprint Raindrops kid craft idea is VERY fitting for the stormy weather we have had here in Tampa, Florida the past week.
It’s been raining on and off since last Thursday and my son & I are ready for this depressing weather to stop. Welcome to summer in Florida! They are predicting this type of weather till next week. UGH.
Anyways – due to the rainy weather, I was inspired to make this Rain Go Away tutorial come to life for Glued To My Crafts. It’s “THE” craft to make with your child, on a rainy day, to pass the time. My personal favorite part of this rain cloud craft idea is the little poem that I included in a free printable below, that you can personalize {and sing} with your child’s name added in it.
It’s just a quick and quirky paper craft that only takes a few steps & supplies. All you need is paper and blue paint. That’s it! So on that note, I hope you like it as much as I do and are inspired to recreate it today, as well {whether it’s raining or not!}
Find all the details, along with the free rain cloud printable BELOW! Happy crafting my friends!!! #gluedtomycrafts
