Ideas for Using These Cloud Cutout Templates

Cloud Coloring Activity

Use any of these templates as a simple cloud coloring page. Discuss the weather or how cloud formation works and have fun on a rainy day!

Shower of Blessings Gratitude Activity Idea

This is a great activity for kids to help them recognize everything they have to be grateful for. Here’s how to do it:

1. Ahead of time: Print as many copies of the rainy cloud cutout template as you have kids.
2. The day of: Ask the kids if they have things to be grateful for. Talk about how sometimes we forget all of the blessings we have when we get distracted by being busy in life.
3. Have each child write or draw things they are grateful for in the raindrops.
4. Let them finish coloring the rest of the picture.
5. Hang up each shower of blessings on display, or let the kids take them home and share what they’re grateful for with their family!

Cotton Ball Cloud Craft

1. Print off any of these cloud cut-outs, (I would use the large cloud printable template or the raincloud template).
2. Glue cotton balls all over the cloud outline.
3. You now have a fun, 3D cloud picture! If you want, color raindrops or glue on rain-drop shapes below the cloud for even more entertainment.`

Cloud Cake Topper

To make a cloud cake topper, you will need the following:

• 2 copies of a cloud template (I think the 7-inch one would work best for a cake. Just ignore the raindrops and cut out just the cloud).
• Materials for decorating the clouds (glitter, markers, cotton balls, etc.)
• A popsicle stick or skewer
• Glue (A hot glue gun would be best for a skewer)

1. Print out 2 copies of one of the larger cloud templates.
2. Cut them out. You should now have two clouds cut-outs.
3. Turn one cloud over to the reverse side. (This is so that when you glue them together later, the edges line up).
4. Now, decorate both ON THE SIDES FACING UP. Let the cloud outlines dry if needed.
5. Finally, flip one cloud over and glue a popsicle stick or skewer to the back.
6. Now take the other cloud and glue it over top of the popsicle stick or skewer, making sure the cloud edges line up.
7. You should now have a two-sided, decorated cloud cake topper!

Cloud Cupcake Toppers

It’s super simple to create cloud cupcake toppers using the 3″ clouds template. You’ll need the following materials to make 8 cloud cupcake toppers:

• The printable cloud pattern with 3″ clouds
• Materials for decorating the clouds, if desired (markers, glitter, etc.) 
• 8 popsicle sticks
• Glue

And here are the instructions:

1. Print out the 3″ clouds template.
2. Decorate the clouds as desired. I think it would be cute to write the names of party guests on the clouds in cute script for personalized cupcakes.
3. Cut the clouds out
4. Glue the popsicle sticks onto the backs of the clouds and insert them into the cupcakes.

Cloud Stencil for Painting Walls, Furniture, and More

If you came here to find a cloud stencil for painting, you can easily create a reusable plastic mylar template by following these steps.

To create a plastic mylar template for painting from a PDF of a cloud outline, you will need the following materials:

• A cloud outline PDF file
• Plastic mylar sheet or other clear plastic sheeting
• Painter’s tape
• Sharpie

Here is a brief description of how to make the template:

1. Print out the cloud template PDF file on a piece of paper.
2. Place the plastic mylar sheet on top of the printed cloud outline and secure it in place with painter’s tape.
3. Trace the cloud template onto the mylar with the Sharpie.
4. Carefully remove the tape and paper from the mylar with the cloud outline traced on it.
5. Place the mylar onto a cutting mat and tape it down. Then, using an exact knife, carefully cut out the cloud outline.
6. You now technically have two templates: The cloud and the cloud negative. Use them to trace and paint clouds onto various surfaces such as walls, furniture, or canvases!
