My daughter watched Bambi for the first time the other day and one of the main songs is “Drip, Drip, Drop Little April Showers.” (I’m sure you sang that as you read it!) 😉 We have definitely had a very rainy April here, which means lots of craft days! We’re not complaining! This is an easy toddler or kids craft for your little one to do on a rainy, Spring day! My daughter completed three different versions so you can decide which one will work regarding the materials you have on hand! Or complete all three! FREE printables included below.

Pom Pom Flowers materials needed:
- 1 inch pom poms in yellow, green and pink
- 0.25 inch blue pom poms – you can also find at Hobby Lobby!
- 2 green craft sticks
- Cotton balls
- Elmer’s Glue-All – you can also use Elmer’s School Glue, but it won’t hold as well
- Free printable – linked below
Directions:
Glue the craft sticks first, then yellow, pink, green and blue pom poms. For younger children, you could add glue dots to all of the dots and have them place/stick the pom poms to the corresponding colors (less messy)! This is also a great educational activity with color recognition!
My Daughter loved the soft texture of the pom poms on this one!
Paint Flowers materials needed:
- Crayola washable paint
- Paint colors needed: Yellow, red, blue, green and grey (mix black and white).
- Sponge stippler set – (1) 1 1/4″, (2) 3/4″ and (1) 1/4″
- 2 green craft sticks
- Elmer’s Glue-All
- Paint trays
- Free printable
Directions:
Glue the craft sticks first. Use the 1 1/4″ brush for the grey clouds (you could also glue cotton balls instead). Use a 3/4″ brush for the yellow center, green leaves and red (or pink) petals. Then use the 1/4″ brush for the blue raindrops.
The finished paint version! My Daughter really enjoyed creating both! She immediately wanted to do another one!
Dot Marker Flowers materials needed:
- Dot markers
- Free printables
We decided to use our dot markers! There are many different ways to complete this craft depending on the materials you have at home. It’s also great to have on hand for a rainy day! 🙂
