How to Make Cloud Pictures for Preschoolers

Complete a unit on weather with simple cloud pictures created with paper and paint for your preschoolers. Combine the finished pictures into a bulletin board display, a backdrop for the rest of the unit, or even as a mobile to hang from the ceiling. Preschoolers will want to create more than one cloud picture, so provide plenty of paint and paper to keep them busy. Offer glitter or cotton balls to complete their creative cloud pictures.
