Puddles & Play 3 Ways

,

Hi friends,

We’re bringing you our Puddles & Play 3 Ways, printable sheets used as stencils, or colored for a rainy day scene.

We used colored pencils, construction paper, a foil tablecloth, and a clear blue party bag, but you can also use markers, scrapbook sheets, and recycled party bags. You’ll get to decide if your person is facing forward, backward, standing straight, kicking, or stomping. Check out the three versions below.

FOIL/PLASTIC - facing towards the clouds

  1. Rough-cut the coat and umbrella stencil, then glue them to the foil paper before cutting them out. Glue the boots to the colored paper, and then cut them out as well.
