Clouds
How to use this worksheet
- Start at the dot on the lower line and go over the first small bump, then the tall middle bump that reaches the top line, then the last small bump.
- Close each cloud with a straight stroke back along the bottom line to where it began.
- Trace the solid model cloud with a finger first, counting the bumps aloud: "one, two, three, and home".
What this worksheet teaches
Each cloud is a chain of three arches of different heights followed by a straight return stroke. Switching from a curve to a straight line, and from a low bump to a high one, trains the child to control the size of a movement, not just its direction. That size control is exactly what later separates a short letter like n from a tall one like h. The medium size keeps the clouds compact, so the movement comes mainly from the fingers rather than the whole arm.
Variation to try
Once the page is done, let your child add a few raindrops under the clouds or sun rays above them – short straight strokes are a good contrast to the curved bumps.
