Cut several colored construction papers into long vertical strips. You may also use tissue paper, ribbons, thick colored yarns, anything that makes you think of rain.

Place some glue on the top of one of the long strips of paper. Place strip onto the cloud cutout. Repeat across with rainbow colors until you reach the other side. Let glue try, about 15 minutes.

In the meantime, take a cotton ball and use your fingers to pull it apart gently to expand it a bit.
