LITTLE CLOUD   
Written by: Holly LaForge [Holly is a Bellevue Union Elementary/Teacher Assistant and after school daycare program provider from Santa Rosa California.]

Activity Summary:

Objectives

Connecting art with a story.

What You Need:

What You Do:

After reading the story and discussing The Little Cloud, we made our own clouds to go with our Raindrop Pictures. On piece of the white paper, draw a large cloud by drawing a large fluffy circle.
  1. Have each child draw the face on the Little Cloud

  2. Put both pieces of paper together and cut out cloud along the lines you drew. (I had to help my Kindergartners with this part)

  3. Paste or staple around the cloud leaving top open like a pocket.

  4. Wad up some of the newspaper and stuff the cloud with it.

  5. Staple or paste the top of the cloud closed so the stuffing won't fall out.

  6. Staple onto bulletin board with the rain pictures
