Clouds
How to use this worksheet
- Study the model: from the dark dot on the bottom line, the line goes over a small bump, a tall middle bump that touches the top line and another small bump, then straight back along the base.
- Trace the dashed cloud, then draw your own clouds next to it, leaving a small gap between them.
- Five or six more clouds fit in each row; keep them all sitting on the bottom line.
What this worksheet teaches
To copy a cloud, a child has to remember a sequence: three bumps of different heights, then a straight line back to the start. Holding that order in mind while drawing is a planning skill, much like writing a letter from memory. The bumps are arches like the tops of n, m and h, and the flat base is a straight stroke drawn from right to left, so 4–5 year olds combine curves and a straight line in one closed shape.
Play idea
Cloud spotting: when a row is finished, look at each cloud together and decide what it resembles, a sheep, a pillow, a hat. Your child adds ears or a face to the one that looks most like an animal.
