Umbrella Craft Ideas by Age Group: Perfect for Rainy-Season Childcare

[Age 3] Colorful Paper Plate Umbrella Decoration

[Nursery/Kindergarten] Umbrella Craft Ideas ♪ Cute Hanging Decorations! [Rainy Season & June Crafts/How-To]

Here’s a craft idea for making colorful umbrellas out of paper plates.

First, draw patterns on the umbrella.

Blow painting, stamping—any technique is fine! Once you’ve added your designs, cut the paper plate in half, shape it like an umbrella, and glue it together.

Finally, thread a chenille stem (pipe cleaner) through and bend it to form the handle—done! You can leave the edge as is, or cut it into wavy or zigzag shapes for an extra-cute umbrella.

After threading the pipe cleaner, curl the tip at the ferrule end so it doesn’t slip out.

I want to make them in a variety of designs! Here are some cute umbrella ideas.

When it comes to the rainy season or must-have items for rainy days, umbrellas are a given, right? This time, let’s make adorable umbrellas using origami in your favorite colors and patterns.

You’ll need one sheet of origami paper, one sheet cut into quarter size, and glue or double-sided tape.

Brighten up your space with colorful umbrellas!

[Age 1] Bear on a Rainy Day

Let’s use the marble-rolling art technique to make a cute “Rainy Day Bear.” First, place small drops of paint on drawing paper and roll marbles over it.

Be sure to use a container with raised edges so the marbles don’t roll out.

Since this will become the bear’s raincoat, choose bright colors for a cute finish.

Once the paint is dry, cut it into the shape of a raincoat and attach the bear’s face and rain boots.

Finally, use a green paint handprint as a leaf umbrella for the bear to hold, and you’re done!

Origami Umbrella for Ages 5

Origami umbrellas perfect for wall decorations during the rainy season

Here’s a craft idea themed around umbrellas, perfect for the rainy rainy season.

It’s also great as a decorative item for wall displays or illustrations with a rainy-season theme.

First, fold a prepared sheet of origami paper in half.

Fold it in half again, then open it and fold both ends inward.

Open it once more, fold along the creases, and fold the corners on both ends.

Fold both ends to align with the crease, and attach a drawing of a handle to complete the umbrella.

Try making pieces that spark children’s creativity, such as decorating the umbrella with pens and stickers.

[Age 5] Umbrella bouquet made with paper plates

Let’s make a festive umbrella bouquet to brighten up your space.

Cut a paper plate in half, then trim the cut edge into an arch to resemble the rim of an umbrella.

Cut out the handle from another part of the paper plate and attach it to the umbrella piece.

Paint the umbrella and handle in bright colors, then glue on flowers made from tissue paper to finish.

Adding round stickers to the centers of the flowers makes them look even more realistic.

When you display it, punch a hole in the handle, thread a string through, and hang it so the umbrella is upside down.

[Age 2] Colorful Paper Plate Umbrella

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

Let’s use a paper plate and a pipe cleaner to make colorful umbrellas! Adults should handle the umbrella assembly.

First, let the children freely draw on the paper plates.

Once they’re done, draw lines dividing the plate into eight equal sections, like cutting a round cake.

Cut the paper plate in half, then fold along the lines to create the umbrella shape.

Thread a pipe cleaner through the center and curl the end to make the handle—your umbrella is complete.

You can make two umbrellas from one paper plate.

It might also be fun to add stickers after assembling the umbrella.

Stained Glass-Style Frog Umbrella (Age 3)

[Kindergarten/Daycare] Umbrella Craft / 3D / How to Make a Stained-Glass-Style Umbrella ♡

Some children’s umbrellas have 3D elements like animal ears or parts of vehicles, right? Here’s an idea to make a similar 3D umbrella with a frog motif.

First, use a compass to draw a circle on construction paper.

You’ll only use about two-thirds of the circle, so mark the section you’ll use.

After cutting out the inner part of the usable section, cover the cutout area with OPP tape.

Next, stick small pieces of colored cellophane onto the adhesive side of the tape, then seal it with another layer of OPP tape on top.

This will become the umbrella, so cut along the lines and roll it into an umbrella shape.

Attach the frog parts made from construction paper and add a straw handle to finish.

The frog’s eyes will pop out in 3D, making it super cute!
