How to use this worksheet

  • Begin at the dot at the lower left of the first cloud, on the bottom guide line.
  • Trace the small bump, the tall middle bump and the second small bump, then run back along the flat base to close the cloud.
  • Move right to the next dashed cloud and repeat; the bottom row is shorter and ends before the mascot.

What this worksheet teaches

For older children full tracing is about fluency, not first contact: keeping the pencil on the dashed line at a steady pace, without stopping inside each bump, builds the smooth rhythm needed for joined handwriting. The rise and fall of the bumps is the same arch movement as in m, n and h, and the return along the base practices a controlled straight stroke to an exact end point. It is a good choice after a break from school, for a child who finds writing tiring, or as a warm-up before homework.

Play idea

Sky diary: at the end of each row, your child writes one weather word, such as rain, sun or wind, at the same careful pace as the clouds.

Questions and answers

Questions from parents

Isn't full tracing too easy for a 7 year old?
Not if the aim is neat, even movement. Ask your child to trace each cloud in one smooth go without leaving the dashes; that is harder than it looks.
Why does each cloud have a straight line at the bottom?
The flat base closes the shape and sits on the bottom guide line, the same way letters sit on a baseline in a notebook.
How can I tell if my child is ready for less support?
If the clouds are traced accurately and the pace stays steady to the last row, try a half-tracing or draw-from-the-model clouds sheet next.
