This is the best activity on a rainy day or if you have toddlers. First, you need a clear parasol. Make sure it is a sturdy one. Next, get some waterproof paints or colours and a few brushes. You can work scenery, birds, block shades or cartoon characters onto the parasol. Make sure you don’t touch the wet surfaces and allow sufficient umbrella time (at least two days) once done. You can also do this with kid’s umbrellas. Other additions like lace and sequins along the borders is also a good idea.
