Supplies:
- Cotton Balls
- White Card Stock
- Diluted Tempera Paint
- White Glue
Instructions:
- Run glue along the top 1/8 of the cardstock
- Fluff out the cotton balls a bit and saturate bottom in watered down paint
- Place onto glue paint side down, and repeat until the desired cloud amount is reached (working fairly quickly)
- Tip the paper up to let the rain fall. Rainclouds might need to be pressed a bit to release the paint.
- Leave to dry (it will take a day!). After it’s dry you might color a scene with crayon if you’d like, or just leave it as it is!

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
