Let's make rainy day magic! Kids will create a rainy window scene, perfect for a cozy, artistic adventure.
In this delightful rainy day art program, children will explore the beauty of process art as they create their very own rainy window scenes. Using pipettes and watered-down paint, kids will make raindrops that gently splash across the paper, mimicking the soft patter of rain. Then, they’ll use construction paper to craft a window frame, completing their artwork with a cozy, rainy-day feel.
This process-based activity helps young children develop fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and creative thinking. As they manipulate the pipettes and experiment with color, they’ll strengthen their ability to focus and make choices, building confidence in their artistic abilities. Through this hands-on experience, children aged 0-5 will not only engage their senses but also foster a love for creating and exploring the world of art.

The Children’s Library’s grounds are integral to the entire facility’s program. A greenhouse and teaching garden helps children learn about growing healthy foods as well as provide produce that are used in the teaching kitchen programs. The grounds reflect the topography of Arkansas’s ecosystems, from the native hardwood trees in the highlands to vegetation of the wetland areas, which are both planted and original to the site. Walking paths offer families an attractive place for exercise while learning the names of the trees and plants, and an amphitheater has seating for outdoor programs or nature watching.
