Fun Ways to Use Your Rainy Day Coloring Pages
Get creative on a gloomy day with these fun, hands-on craft ideas for kids and families:
1. Umbrella Paper Garland
Color several umbrella and raindrop coloring sheets, then cut them out. Use a hole punch at the top and string them along yarn or ribbon. Hang the garland across windows or shelves for a cheerful indoor rain decoration.
2. Rainy Day Storybook
Choose 5–7 coloring pages and have your child color their favorites. Staple them together with a cardstock cover and let them write a short story for each page’s scene. This transforms coloring into story-making!
3. Coated Placemat Keepsakes
Laminate a finished page to use as a wipe-clean placemat. It adds a personal touch to mealtimes and makes rainy lunches feel more fun.
4. Weather Teaching Tools
Use coloring pages featuring rain, clouds, and rainbows as visual aids. After coloring, discuss how rain forms or how rainbows appear. It’s a creative science lesson!
5. Mixed-Media Rain Collage
Provide paint, cotton balls, torn tissue paper, and crayons. Kids color the base sheet, then add textured clouds (cotton), glitter raindrops, or painted puddle accents to bring their rainy scene to life.
6. Nature Printable Notework
After coloring an umbrella or raindrop sheet, cut out shapes and attach a clothespin on the back. These make great bookmarks, name tags, or snack bag clips.
7. Rain Boots Postcards
Cut out boot or umbrella designs after coloring, glue onto folded cardstock, and write a message inside. They make delightful, handmade greeting cards: “Rainy Day Hello!”
8. Sensory Rain Stick Craft
Color a tall, narrow rain image on thick paper, roll it into a tube and secure with tape. Fill with dry beans or beads, cap the ends, and when shaken, it softly mimics rain sounds!
9. Miniature Matching Game
Color two copies of a simple raindrop or umbrella page. Laminate and cut images into pairs of squares. Mix them up and play a memory match game—great for tiny rainy-day minds!
10. Raindrop Windcatchers
Color raindrops cutouts and hang them in a window or porch. The sun through colored paper creates sparkling light—a happy indoor rainbow after the rain.
11. Rainy Day Scrapbook Embellishments
Use colored umbrellas, boots, or clouds to decorate photo albums, journals, or memory books—especially nice after a real rainy adventure outside.
12. Classroom Bulletin Board
Have each student color a different rain-themed sheet. Attach them around a heading like “Rainy Day Artists” on a board. It makes for a cheerful weather-themed display!
13. Rainy Day Placards
Write weather-related words or sight words on colored rain themes and use them during reading or spelling practice—visual and interactive learning.
14. Personal Rain Shields
Attach a pop-out colored umbrella (cutout) to a popsicle stick. Kids can hold them up like a puppetry prop during storytelling or imaginative play.
15. Color-by-Instruction Game
Mix uniqueness and fun: let kids follow color directions like “color all raindrops blue, clouds gray, umbrellas striped.” Builds listening and color recognition!
Each activity helps your child explore creativity, weather concepts, fine motor skills, and storytelling—all while enjoying playful, rainy-day fun. These free, printable PDF coloring pages are just the starting point; pair them with scissors, glue, laminator, yarn, or popsicle sticks to make crafts that go beyond coloring.
