How to use this worksheet

  • Start at the dark dot at the bottom-left corner of the first cloud, which is solid; go over a small bump, a big bump that touches the top line and another small bump.
  • Finish with a straight line back along the bottom to the start, so the cloud is closed.
  • Trace each dashed cloud the same way; seven to nine clouds sit on the bottom line of every row.

What this worksheet teaches

The three bumps are arches that go up and over, like the tops of the letters n, m and h, while the flat base is a straight line running back the other way. Switching from curves to a straight line and closing the shape exactly at the start is a good planning exercise. With every cloud fully dashed, 3–4 year olds can focus on keeping the bumps round and the base flat on the lower guide line.

Play idea

Weather report: color some clouds gray and add raindrops under them, leave others white with a sun peeking out. Your child then "reads" the weather along a row: rain, rain, sunshine.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Which bump is the biggest?
The middle one: it reaches the top guide line, while the two side bumps stay lower.
Should each cloud be drawn in one line?
Yes, all three bumps and the flat base in one line, from the dot back to the dot; then lift and move to the next cloud.
My child skips the bottom line. What helps?
Remind them the cloud needs a floor to be finished; tracing the base in a different color makes it stand out.
