3 Types of Clouds Craft

January 28, 2016 By Rachel

Clouds are such a fun science topic to teach!
Especially when you can turn it into a craft!

Fun and easy art project using DIY puffy paint to make the 3 types of clouds
A fun way to do this is to paint types of clouds with DIY puffy paint!

For this cloud craft you’ll need:
Shaving cream
Liquid glue
Construction Paper
Cups or Bowls
Craft Sticks or Spoons

Before passing out the crafting supplies, we watched the video about the 3 types of clouds.

Then we divided our construction paper into 3 parts and labeled.
Next, we mixed the shaving cream and liquid glue.
I did not use any exact measurements…I can’t even say I used equal parts.
I just squirt some shaving cream and glue in a cup and had the students stir.
You can do this in advance, but I felt my kiddos could handle this part.
Finally, the cloud creations!

Once they dry, you will have puffy clouds!
**Disclaimer: The puffiness only last about 2 days, and then it deflated, but it was still lots of fun!
Do you do any fun crafts when teaching science?

    How long is your students’ attention spans? I o How long is your students’ attention spans?
I only have about 10 minutes before I lose them! 🤪
And I don’t know about you but my lessons are typically longer…so I try to mix it up every 10 minutes with a Think-Pair-Share or some kind of movement

    Coming back from break is a lot easier than the fi Coming back from break is a lot easier than the first day of school!
Less teacher talk 🗣
More student talk 👥
1️⃣ Give your students time to catch up with each other. Even adults like to chit chat about what we did during break!
2️⃣ Review procedures by playing a fun game. Charades is a great way to act out procedures to see if other students can guess what they’re doing!
3️⃣ The halfway point of the school year is a great time for students to set goals!
What’s your favorite thing to do after a break?!
