Paper Plate Rain Cloud Toddler Craft to Promote Fine Motor Skills

February 15, 2018 by Julie 7 Comments

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe and join fellow working moms. Thanks for visiting!

I came up with this fun rain cloud toddler craft as a follow up to our paper plate spider activity due to my toddler’s obsession with the Itsy Bitsy Spider song. I figured since the rain in the song is an interesting topic, why not make a fun activity he can do and we can pretend its raining on the spider.

I know, I know, the things mom life reduces you into haha!

Paper Plate Rain Cloud Toddler Craft Activity

This craft/activity includes different skills and lets your child practice various new abilities.

These include: cutting, gluing, and stringing.

 

Rain Cloud Paper Plate Craft


 

Supplies for paper plate raincloud craft:

  • Coffee filters
  • Colorful Straws
  • Pipe Cleaners
  • Paper Plates
  • Scissors (preschooler safe scissors)
  • Glue
  • Newspaper or packing paper for a mess-free workspace

 

Steps to make Paper Plate Raincloud Craft:

There are two parts to this craft. The first creates the rain cloud on the paper plate with the coffee filters. The second creates the raindrops using pipe cleaners and straws.

To create the cloud:

Let your child cut the coffee filters into small pieces. Fold the paper plate in half and glue it together. Now, let your child glue pieces of coffee filter onto the paper plate.

Now you have clouds! Just let it dry.

To create the raindrops:

You can do this, or you can let your child cut the straws into smaller segments (or beads, if you will). Then let your little one string the straw beads onto the pipe cleaners. I didn’t want ours to get too long so I cut two pipe cleaners in half to make four raindrops.

Fold up the bottom end so the straw beads do not fall off. Glue the top piece of the pipe cleaner raindrops to the back of the paper plate cloud.

    This is super cute! My 2-year-old would love this! Cutting up the straws to string on the pipe cleaners is genius!

    I love cutting up straws to make beads, that’s so clever. And then using pipe cleaners instead of string so you just have to fold the bottom up. I’m going to try this with my kids this weekend! Do you guys act out the song with the spider and clouds? I’ll admit, I still love that song and was jazzed when my son came home singing it.

      My kid is obsessed with the song but he wants to watch the videos and we haven’t acted it out yet.
