Prepare the Water Cycle Parts

Draw and cut the cloud strip, layered water waves, sun and five long rain strips from white chart paper using scissors.

Paint the Elements

Paint the cloud, water waves and rain strips in different shades of blue using the Fevicryl Pastel Colours and Paint Brushes. Paint the sun with a yellow centre and orange rays, then allow all the pieces to dry completely.

Add the Rain Details

Draw blue raindrops on each rain strip and outline the painted pieces using black paint to highlight the water cycle elements.

Assemble the Base

Stick the layered water waves at the bottom of the base and fix the cloud strip above them using Fevicol Glue Drops, leaving enough space for the hanging rain strips.

Attach the Hanging Rain

Cut five equal lengths of cobbler thread and stick one end of each thread behind the cloud using Fevicol Glue Drops. Attach a painted rain strip to the other end of each thread so the strips hang freely.

Complete the Water Cycle

Stick the painted sun above the cloud using Fevicol Glue Drops to complete the water cycle scene.
