Paint your Own Umbrella!

With summer comes sunshine and heat, but it also means rain and sometimes lots of it. Has your child ever asked you if they could have their very own umbrella instead of sharing yours? Yep, been there. It's good though because children want to feel big and independent! 

Umbrellas for kids come in different colors, themes, and sizes.  What about a fun blue penguin umbrella? Or a dogs kids umbrella? If your kids just like it simple, umbrellas come in red, green, blue, etc.  How about taking it up a notch and having your child paint their own umbrella!

It's a definite unique twist on just buying a solid or patterned one. This would be a fun craft to do on a hot or stormy day. That way the umbrella paint has time to dry. When it does dry, your child may want to take it out for a test run. On simple rainy days, take it outside to try it out! They can even dance and sing in the rain with their newly painted umbrellas. They will feel so proud and will have gained a sense of accomplishment knowing that they designed it on their own. So fun! Don't forget those rain boots!
