Custom Painted Umbrella Preschool Craft

Make a plain umbrella a work of art that your preschooler will be proud to use during the rainy season. Talk about rainy weather and all the fun things that are associated with it – rainbows, puddles, ducks, rain drops, frogs, clouds – then let your preschooler paint these things onto their umbrella. To make it a little easier for younger preschoolers you can draw the designs onto the umbrella with a pen and let your preschooler paint them or use large foam stamps dipped in fabric paint.
