Purchase The Day it Rained Hearts on Amazon!
Directions:
1. Start by cutting a cloud shape out of an empty cereal box. Put school glue on one section at a time of the cloud and cover it with crumpled white tissue paper squares. Continue until the entire cloud is
covered in the crumpled tissue paper squares.
2. Next tape five strands of string (any type of string or yarn will do) to the back of the cloud. They were probably about 12″ long each. For the next step you will need to leave the cloud face down like this.
3. While my daughter was busy adding tissue paper to her cloud I was cutting hearts out of red construction paper. I made them varying sizes just as the book described. My daughter took a heart, placed it underneath the string and placed a piece of tape over the string to hold the heart in place.
4. After you are finished taping hearts to all of the different strings, turn it over to reveal your cloud raining hearts. My daughter glued a couple hearts onto the cloud as well. We are so pleased with how it turned out!
