Clouds
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot at the bottom left of the cloud: a small bump, a tall bump that reaches the top line, a small bump, then a flat line back to the start.
- Trace the dashed cloud once, then draw the rest of the row freehand, leaving a little space between clouds.
- Every cloud should have its flat base on the bottom guide line and its tall bump in the middle.
What this worksheet teaches
Each cloud is a row of three arches of different heights plus a straight closing line, so it trains graded control: the same arching movement made small, big and small again. Arches over the top are the humps of n, m and h, and the flat return stroke from right to left closes the shape. Drawing clouds from a model rather than dashes makes the child judge proportions, such as how tall the middle bump should be compared with the small ones. Large rows give room for smooth, round arches.
Play idea
Cloud shapes: ask your child which cloud in each row looks like an animal or an object, and let them add one tiny detail, like an ear or a tail, to make it so.
