Your Head in the Clouds

What fun it is for daydreamers to imagine that they see shapes in the clouds. With this activity, kids dream up favorite things to draw inside clouds.

1. First go outside and look at the clouds to see different shapes.

2. Draw a shimmery cloud on construction paper with the Crayola® Metallic Colored Pencils.

3. On the cardboard, draw a small outline of one of your favorite things, such as an ice-cream cone or a heart. Cut it out.

4. With a small piece of tape, form a loop with the sticky side out. Lightly attach the cardboard cutout inside your cloud.

5. Use Crayola Twistables Crayons to color all around the cutout of your favorite thing, making jagged edges that leave the shape inside.

6. Move the cutout to another area in your cloud and repeat the coloring. Continue until your cloud is full of colorful outlines of your favorite thing in the clouds!

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

"A relaxing activity anytime you need some calm."

"My kids decorated their rooms with their favorite clouds,"
Jamila C., mom of two ages 9 and 11.

Those thick and fluffy white clouds that look like cotton balls floating in the sky are called cumulus, which means heap in Latin. These clouds most resemble animals and other familiar shapes in imaginative minds.
