They glued their cloud design on light blue construction paper and wrote the name of their cloud picture on the bottom with white crayon. After reading this story with my kindergarten class, I use my small group time to make unique cloud pictures. I begin by giving my students a dark or light blue piece of paper. We fold the paper in half, crease it, then open the paper back to it's full size. The students place a small spoonful of thick white paint on the crease and fold the paper again.
Students use their hands to spread the paint around inside of the paper.
When they open the paper, each has a very unique cloud. During our weather week in kindergarten, we read Little Cloud in one of our small groups. After reading the book, we imagine what else Little Cloud could turn into. While our white cloud paintings are drying, we go outside and look at the clouds in the sky and imagine what our cloud will look like. When the tissue paper is dry, the children cut out their cloud shape and glue it onto a blue piece of construction paper.
