How to use this worksheet

  • Start at the dot at the bottom left of the solid cloud: a small bump, a tall bump that touches the top line, another small bump, then a flat line back along the bottom.
  • Trace the dashed clouds to the middle of the row, keeping the tall bump in the center of every cloud.
  • Finish the row with your own clouds, each one sitting flat on the bottom line with a little space before the next.

What this worksheet teaches

Each cloud chains three arches of different heights, so the hand repeats the same over-the-top movement while changing its size on purpose: small, big, small. That arching is the movement in the humps of n, m and h. The flat return line along the bottom closes the shape and trains a smooth right-to-left stroke, a direction children use less often. Medium clouds need finer control than big ones, and the half-traced rows let the child copy the proportions before drawing them alone.

Play idea

Weather report: your child adds raindrops under one cloud, a sun behind another and lightning under a third, then tells you the day’s weather.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Why is the middle bump taller?
It gives the cloud its shape and makes your child change the size of the arch on purpose.
My child’s clouds float above the line. How can I fix it?
Start every cloud with the pencil on the bottom guide line and finish with the flat line along it; then the cloud cannot float.
Is this card suitable for a left-handed child?
Yes. Left-handers start at the same dot; tilting the top of the paper slightly to the right helps them see the dashed model.
