Rachel, from Birmingham, shows us how to make a rain cloud mobile. Let’s take a look at it…
What did you make?
We made a lovely Rain Cloud Mobile. My son loves the Nursey Rhyme, ‘Rain rain go Away’ so we decided to make a mobile.
You need:
Card
Glue
Twigs
Strings
Blue and white tissue paper
Blue bingo dabber or felt tips
Scissors
First draw a rain cloud and some raindrops and cut them out.
Then scrunch up tissue and glue it to the rain cloud.
Next dab or colour the raindrops.
After make some little holes and but the string through them.
Finally tie the strings to the sticks.
I hope you enjoy this activity.
It looks so beautiful when it’s finished. I loved that it was all my son’s work and I just put it together.
