Pet Rain cloud craft!
For each rain cloud, cut out two identical cloud shapes from blue construction paper. Take silver tinsel (sold at gift stores for filling baskets and bags) and Scotch tape a row of tinsel across the middle of one of the blue clouds. Glue the second blue cloud on top, to hide where you taped down the tinsel. The silver tinsel should be hanging down from the bottom of the cloud, like rain. Punch a hole on the east and west ends of the cloud, and string with rainbow-colored yarn. Now you have a "pet cloud" that can be carried around with you like a purse!
