How to use this worksheet

  • Start at the dot at the bottom left of each cloud. Draw a small bump, then a tall bump that reaches the top line, then another small bump, and finish with a straight line back along the bottom.
  • Say "small, big, small" while drawing the bumps.
  • Lift the crayon after each cloud; about eight clouds fit in a row.
  • If the bumps run into each other, pause briefly at the bottom between them.

What this worksheet teaches

A row of clouds trains repeated arches of different heights, so the hand has to decide how high to go each time. Arching over the top is the movement of letters such as n, m, h and r, and changing the size of the arch builds control. The straight line back along the base adds a horizontal stroke that closes the shape, so every cloud is a small complete task. The large rows, about 2.4 cm tall, give the tall middle bump plenty of room.

Play idea

Look out of the window at real clouds, or glue a cloud of cotton wool onto paper. Your child says what the cloud looks like, then traces a row of clouds on the sheet.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Why is the middle bump bigger than the others?
It gives the cloud its shape and asks the hand to change the height of the arch — good practice in controlling size.
My child draws one long wavy line instead of separate clouds. Is that okay?
Show that each cloud is closed with a straight line along the bottom before the next one starts.
Which letters do clouds prepare for?
Arches over the top are the start of n, m, h and r, so this sheet is an early step toward them.
