Great for weather lessons
Cloud templates are handy for a classroom weather unit. Colour them white for a sunny day or grey for a thunderstorm, then talk about how clouds and rain are made while children practise cutting and colouring.
How to print and use them
Print at 100% for the size shown, or resize the image in any photo editor — small clouds suit cards, large ones suit wall decor. Plain paper is fine for colouring; for mobiles and decorations that need to hold their shape, print on card stock. The shapes also work with felt, fabric or wood.
