April Bulletin Board
Rain on the housetop,
rain on the trees.
Rain on the umbrella

This was always one of my favorite bulletin boards. You could make it a little more creative by letting children use wallpaper scraps for the umbrellas. They could also spatter paint or make collages on the umbrellas.
