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.

Some steps are a bit complicated, so it’s a good idea to start out working together with a parent or teacher.

[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.

[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.
