Easy Coffee Filter Umbrella Craft
This simple coffee filter umbrella craft is a perfect springtime craft for kids!

We’ve had some pretty rainy days around here lately. I mean, they say that “April showers bring May flowers”, but we’ve been having some rainstorms that are a few degrees beyond “showers”. With all the rain we’re getting, we should see more flowers than ever before this May!

Since the weather’s been so windy and rainy lately, I thought it would be cool to make another one of our coffee filter crafts for kids: a fun coffee filter umbrella craft!

Share this easy rainy day coffee filter umbrella craft with your kids this spring!

This is a simple craft that only takes a few minutes and a handful of supplies. Plus, it’s easy to do with several kids at once!

Coffee Filter Umbrella Craft Supplies

Start by cutting the coffee filter in half. You’ll only need one half for the craft.

Color the filter half. I wanted to use a bright color to contrast with our dreary day background, so I went with yellow. But you can use any color you want.

Use a glue stick to glue the filter onto the construction paper at an angle.

To do this, color the coffee filter half yellow as above, but glue the filter onto the construction paper with the curved side down.

For ours, we cut a chenille pipe cleaner in half and curled one end into a “J” shape to form the umbrella handle. I used red, but (again) use any color you want.

After you draw the raindrops, add some storm clouds to show how hard it’s “raining” in your picture.
