Clouds
How to use this worksheet
- Start on the dot at the bottom left of the cloud and make three bumps, small, big and small, from left to right.
- Finish with a straight line along the bottom back to the start.
- Leave a little gap and begin the next cloud on the bottom line.
What this worksheet teaches
Each cloud is a closed shape made of three arches of different heights and one straight base. Drawing them freehand means planning the size of each bump so that the middle one reaches the top line and the cloud still closes. At 4–5 this trains visual judgement and the over-the-top curve of letters like n, m and h, in a friendly, low-pressure shape.
Variation to try
Weather chart: your child decides the weather for each row, sunny, rainy, snowy, windy, and adds a sun, raindrops or snowflakes around the freehand clouds.
Questions and answers
Questions from parents
Are the clouds joined?
No, each cloud is a separate closed shape with a flat bottom, standing on the bottom line.
Which bump is the biggest?
The middle one, which reaches up to the top line; the two side bumps are smaller.
My child's clouds turn into scribbles. What helps?
Say "small bump, big bump, small bump, flat line" while drawing, or print the half-tracing clouds first.
