Clouds Tracing Worksheet — Medium Patterns, Draw from the Model, 6 Rows, Ages 5–6 (Set 2)

More than fifty puffy clouds are waiting to be drawn here: each of the six medium rows prints only two, a solid one and a dashed one, and a 5–6 year old adds the rest.

Clouds

How to use this worksheet

Find the dark dot on the bottom line: the cloud starts there and its flat base rests on that line.
Go up and over the small bump, the tall middle bump and the last small bump, then return along the base.
In the empty part of the row, copy the same size and keep the clouds separate, with a little space between them.

What this worksheet teaches

Drawing many closed shapes of the same size in a line is a direct warm-up for writing words, where each letter must be the right size and properly spaced. The bumps train smooth rounded movement, the base trains a straight return stroke, and the whole cloud has to end exactly where it began. With so little guidance, your child learns to glance back at the model and self-correct, a habit that matters more at 5 or 6 than any single perfect cloud.

Variation to try

Sky watching: after the page is done, look at the real sky or a photo of clouds together and find one that also has three bumps. Which cloud on the sheet looks most like it?

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

My child's clouds join into one long wavy line. What helps?

Remind them that each cloud is closed with a straight line along the bottom and that the next one starts after a small gap.

The middle bump comes out flat. Why?

Usually the pencil is moving too fast. Ask your child to aim the middle bump at the top guide line and slow down there.

Is drawing without dashes too difficult at 5?

For some children, yes. Let them trace the model with a finger first; if it is still hard, start with a half-tracing clouds sheet.
