Coffee Filter Umbrella Craft

An adult reads each step aloud and helps with the scissors. Cover the table and use washable markers. The filter has to dry all the way before folding, so plan two sessions or a drying break.

One page with a You will need list (a round coffee filter, washable markers, a spray bottle of water, scissors, a glue stick, a pipe cleaner, blue paper and a tray) and 7 numbered steps. Children draw on the filter, spray it so the colors spread, let it dry, fold it in half, cut curves along the straight edge, glue it to blue paper and add a pipe cleaner handle.

Yes. We made it for Preschool to 2nd Grade holiday activities, and it works the same at home or at school. Families print it for one child and keep it where they will use it every day. Teachers print a copy per student or one for the whole room, whichever the day needs.

13 printable resources, all free to preview. There are 41 Spring resources in all, from Preschool to 5th Grade, gathered on our Spring activities page. Downloads are included with a ClassWeekly free trial, and every page prints on standard 8.5 x 11 paper.

These are written for Preschool to 2nd Grade students, roughly ages 4-8. Many teachers also use them a grade up for review or a grade down as an extension, so use the preview to judge the fit for a particular child.

Yes. Nothing here assumes a classroom of 25, so they work the same one-to-one at the kitchen table as they do in a Preschool to 2nd Grade classroom, a learning center, or a tutoring session.
