A rainbow made with torn paper collage

Making a Rainbow with Torn-Paper Collage: Easy with Origami! Great for Wall Displays (For ages 4 and up)

Here’s a craft idea for a rainbow torn-paper collage that will instantly brighten up indoor spaces during the gloomy rainy season.

Try making a collage by reusing colorful origami or scrap paper.

In torn-paper collages, you create pictures using small, torn pieces of paper, which helps develop finger strength through the tearing motion.

You’ll also use glue to attach the pieces, letting children enjoy the texture of the glue and learn how to use it properly.

Make a big rainbow collage to liven up your classroom!

Leaves and a snail

Seasonal Origami: Rainy Season (Tsuyu) - How to Fold Leaves and a Snail [With Subtitled Explanations]

The rainy season can make you feel gloomy and damp.

At times like that, folding some cute origami can brighten your mood.

Here, let’s fold a leaf and a snail to capture the feeling of the rainy season.

First, fold the paper for the leaf into a jagged, accordion-like shape to give it a leafy look.

For the snail, it might be lovely to use a color that contrasts with the leaf to create a nice visual pop.

Once both are finished, place the snail on top of the leaf and you’re done.

Putting it in your entryway can help set a seasonal mood.

Rubber boots made from paper cups

Paper Cup Craft! How to Make Rain Boots [Easy and Cute Rainy-Season Project! Includes Tips for Fun Variations]

Let’s make decorations themed around rain-day essentials: rain boots.

We’ll use a paper cup and construction paper.

Since a paper cup already resembles the shape of a rain boot, the steps are very simple.

Once the boot shape is complete, decorate it however you like by drawing illustrations or adding stickers.

After finishing, it’s also recommended to attach a handle using a pipe cleaner.

You can even use it as a small container, so filling it with your favorite candies or small toys and using it for a gift exchange might be a hit.

Here’s an idea for making an umbrella using a paper plate and pipe cleaners.

First, attach a sponge to a chopstick to make a stamp.

Next, cut a paper plate in half and use the paint-covered stamp to add color.

Prepare a few paint colors and finish it in your favorite colors and patterns.

Finally, glue a pipe cleaner to the inside of the paper plate as a handle, then roll the plate into a cone shape so it looks like an umbrella, and you’re done! If you curl the end of the pipe cleaner that sticks out from the top of the umbrella, you can hang it with thread as a decoration.

Here’s an idea for a hanging umbrella decoration made with construction paper and chenille stems (pipe cleaners).

Prepare six circles cut from construction paper and fold each one in half twice.

Stack and glue them together.

Attach a chenille stem as the handle, then open up the paper and shape it into an umbrella.

Make clouds and raindrops from construction paper and hang them with string along with the umbrella.

You can use a single color for the umbrella, but it’s also cute to prepare several colors of paper for a colorful finish.

It’s very easy, so give it a try!

All you need is one sheet of origami paper in your favorite color.

The steps are simple and easy to follow, making it perfect for preschool classes.

The key step is folding the corners inward on the back side to give the shell a rounded shape.

When we think of the rainy season, it may seem like the negatives—“it’s damp and muggy,” “you can’t play outside,” and so on—outweigh the positives.

But rainy days also have their perks: you get to wear a cute raincoat, and when the rain lets up, you might even see a rainbow.

So here’s a suggestion: make a hanging craft featuring a rainbow and a raincoat.

You can freely choose the colors of the rainbow and customize the raincoat to be colorful, so the creative possibilities are endless! Rolling paint-covered marbles inside a box to create fascinating patterns also sounds fun.

If you can prepare plenty of boxes, definitely give it a try.
