  Rain Painting Activity 

 

Otters love playing in the water! On the next rainy day, you can play in the rain 

and make some beautiful art as well!  

 

What you need: 

● Rainy day (or spray bottle with water) 

● Watercolor paper 

● Water-based markers or food coloring 

 

Directions:  

Make a design with drops of food coloring or water-based markers on your 

watercolor paper. Set in a tray and place out in the rain! If you don’t have a rainy 

day, you can get the same effect with water from a spray bottle. Keep an eye on 

your artwork so it doesn’t get too saturated, and bring it 

in and let dry when you like the look of it!  

 

Concepts:  

- Connection - all living things need water 

- Fine motor skills - drawing, squeezing 

 

What to say:  

● What do you think will happen when we put our 

artwork in the rain? 

● Rain helped us make art. What else is helped by 

the rain?  

● Why do you think otters like the water?
