I would suggest grabbing a few of these dry erase pocket sleeves and some dry erase markers so kids can mark up the activity sheets, then erase them when they want to play again. That way you can reuse the Cloud Activities for Kids sheets you printed over and over.

Kinds of Clouds

This sheet will help your child identify a few different types of clouds.

Begin by discussing the two types of clouds most often seen: cumulus and stratus. Cumulus clouds are puffy and formed like cotton balls next to one another, while stratus clouds cover a large area with a uniform flat appearance.

To help your child recognize cloud shapes use this sheet as a reference while observing the sky.

Sometimes it’s hard to tell which type they are, so here are some guidelines:

Cirrus – Sometimes these thin, wispy clouds can be confused for stratus, but cirrus clouds are always high in the sky and slightly grayish-white or rosy pink.

Stratus – If they look like a humongous flat cotton sheet, it’s probably stratus clouds.

Stratocumulus – Puffy like a cumulus with a blue or grey color, similar to a stratus cloud.

Cumulus – Puffy, white, and cotton-ball shaped.

Cumulonimbus – These are tall thunderclouds in the shape of a mushroom cap, often accompanied by lightning.

These are generally the most common types of clouds, there are others you can discuss as you see them. This includes:

Cirrocumulus – This one is commonly known as a mackerel sky, they form a rippling pattern in the sky.

Altocumulus – Sheets or patches of small but whispy cotton-ball shaped clouds.

Nimbostratus – Known as rain clouds, this type of cloud is a sheet with a flat bottom and grey in colour.
