Rainy Season Origami: Super Easy Droplet Folding with Audio Commentary ☆ Origami Drop Tutorial – June Decorations

Let’s make a cute little raindrop out of origami to gently lift those gloomy rainy-day moods.

Believe it or not, it only takes four folds! There are very few steps to complete, and most of the folds are straight, so even younger children can give it a try.

Older preschoolers and kindergarteners might enjoy making several.

It’s very simple, so decorating is recommended—draw a face with crayons or add your favorite stickers.

Make lots of raindrops and string them vertically to look like rain; even indoors, kids can feel the unique atmosphere of the rainy season.

Hydrangeas with stamps

[Rainy Season Craft] Perfect for the rainy season: Make hydrangeas with sponges! Easy! [For ages 0–1]

Why not try making hydrangeas, which are at their best during the rainy monsoon season? Since this project uses sponges for stamping, children can work on it safely and with ease.

First, attach rubber bands to a prepared sponge to create a stamp that resembles hydrangea petals.

Next, after sticking illustrations of hydrangea flowers and leaves onto a backing sheet, dip the stamp in paint and press it on.

It’s recommended to prepare colors that reflect hydrangea hues—such as blue, purple, and pink.

This is a craft idea that lets you experience the feel of the rainy season indoors, even on a rainy day.

Umbrellas made with blow painting

[Umbrella Craft (3D)] Useful for the rainy season! A preschool teacher clearly explains how to make it (for 5-year-olds)

Blow painting is a technique where you blow through a straw onto paint to create patterns.

This time, let’s make an umbrella using blow painting.

After drawing a fan shape on construction paper, add a glue tab.

Since this step uses a compass, have an adult do it.

Ask the children to cut only along the outer line with scissors, making sure not to cut the glue tab.

Drop paint onto the cut construction paper, then blow through a straw to create patterns.

The strength of the blowing changes the pattern, so enjoy the variations.

Apply glue to the glue tab and shape the paper into an umbrella.

Trim the top slightly and thread a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) through to finish the umbrella.

Attach a string to the top and it becomes a hanging decoration!

Easy mini mini umbrella made with paper plates

Rainy Season Craft: How to Make a Simple Mini Umbrella with a Paper Plate

To keep out the rainy season’s showers, an umbrella is an essential item.

Not only does it keep you from getting wet, but using a favorite umbrella can also brighten the gloomy image of the rainy season, even just a little.

Here’s a craft using paper plates, inspired by umbrellas—perfect for this rainy time of year.

Cut a paper plate in half, shape it so the tip is pointed, and finally attach a handle to complete the umbrella.

It’s important to freely draw your favorite patterns and think carefully about the design.

If you make the handle from something sturdy like a pipe cleaner, you can hang them on a string or line them up to enjoy, which is another nice touch.

Wet-on-wet painting: Raindrops

[Perfect for June wall displays!] Drip diffusion art with coffee filters 💧🎨 #PreschoolCrafts #PreschoolTeacher #TeachingIdeas #AspiringTeachers #TeacherLife #WithKids #DiffusionArt #Crafts #WallDisplay

Would you like to create raindrop art using a bleeding technique? All you need is a coffee filter.

Draw patterns on the filter with water-based markers, then mist it with water to let the colors bleed.

Using several marker colors will create a beautiful blend.

The original patterns will blur and become indistinct, so don’t worry about making them precise.

Once the filter dries, cut it into teardrop shapes and you’re done.

You can use them as craft accents or make larger ones for wall decorations.

Coffee filters can be a bit tricky to cut, so take your time and proceed carefully.

[Marbling] Umbrella and Frog

Introduction to a Rainy Season Craft Using Marbling [Nursery/Kindergarten]

Let me share an idea for making “Umbrellas and Frogs” with marbling.

Marbling is a technique where you drip paint onto water to create patterns, then transfer them onto paper.

Fill a tray with water, then drip marbling paints onto it as you like.

Use a toothpick or skewer to create a pattern, and gently lay the paper on top.

Lift the paper, and if the pattern has transferred, let it dry.

Cut the marbled paper into an umbrella shape, glue it onto a backing sheet, and draw the umbrella handle and raindrops with a pen.

Finally, add an origami frog, and you’re done.

It’s a fun project that makes you excited to see what kind of umbrella pattern you’ll get, so give it a try in June!
