Step 1: Download and Print the Free Rain Craft Template

Download the Free Rain Cloud Template. These pages include everything you need to make this fun craft. In the next step, you will be stapling the templates to sheets of colored paper to cut out the shapes.

Step 2: Staple and Cut Out the Kite Craft Shapes

Once you have the print outs, staple them to construction paper and cut out the shapes you need.

Note: If you want to make this craft with a group of kids, you can staple the template to up to 10 sheets of copy paper, 5 sheets of cardstock or 5-8 sheets of construction paper.

So, did you know, you can staple together 10 pieces of copy paper and cut out 10 shapes at a time?! That’s my SECRET to fast & easy crafting. Stapling the paper is very important because it makes sure it doesn’t move as you cut. The more staples the better. Cardstock is the thickest so you may only be able to cut 5 sheets at a time.

Tip: While you’re cutting, if you cut off all parts of the pages that have staples, make sure to re-staple the sheets that are left. Whenever you’re cutting multiple sheets at a time, make sure they are always stapled together!

Step 3: How to Assemble this Kite Craft for Toddlers

I recommend having a finished craft so the children can see what the final version will look like.

1. First, glue the white cloud onto your blue construction paper.
2. Next, glue on the blue raindrops under your cloud.
3. Optional: Drizzle white school glue onto your cloud.
4. Optional: Pull apart cotton balls and glue them onto your cloud to make it soft and fluffy.
5. Optional: Glue on a lightning bolt.
6. Don’t forget to write your name on the back.
