Cloud Shapes

Hi friends,

This week, we’re calling all daydreamers and cloud watchers for this fun and imaginative Cloud Shapes craft.

Last week, we created the fluffy, cloud landscape, which is the base for this week’s craft. We then added drawings based on what we found in the clouds and a version of ourselves lying down in the grass. Check it out below.
