Playing outside on a rainy day is fun (puddles are hard to resist no matter how old you are!) but when it’s pouring rain, accompanied by a cold, strong wind, staying indoors is definitely more appealing.

But you can still celebrate rain and raindrops by making an umbrella craft.

This handmade umbrella is made with paper plates but you can easily use cardboard to make it too.
