Cloud Name Craft
This charming cloud name craft was a huge hit with my craft group during our recent spring weather activities!
Made with simple materials like cardstock, markers, scissors, and glue, it’s a fantastic addition to a Pre-K or kindergarten classroom or a fun extension for a weather-themed unit with older kids.
Low-prep paper name crafts like this are a great way to combine name recognition practice with fine motor skill development—all while having some creative fun!

Instructions
1️⃣ Print the Template – Start by printing the free cloud template on sturdy white cardstock for the best results.
2️⃣ Color the Pieces – Use markers, colored pencils, or crayons to bring your cloud and raindrops to life! We love outlining the cloud in blue for a fun, puffy effect.
3️⃣ Cut it Out – Carefully cut out all the template pieces using child-safe scissors.
4️⃣ Assemble the Cloud – Glue the eyes and rosy cheeks onto the upper part of the cloud.
5️⃣ Add the Raindrops – Attach enough raindrops to the bottom of the cloud so that each drop represents one letter of the child’s name.
