Cloud Template
Print a cloud template for free. Choose a puffy cloud with a flat bottom and 3, 4, 5 or 6 round bumps on top, a fluffy cloud with bumps all the way round, a rain cloud with 1-24 raindrops to hang under it, a cloud with a sun to glue behind it, or raindrops on their own. Add a simple smiling face if you like. Set the width from 3 in to a full page (10 in on one sheet, turned sideways), or a big cloud up to 36 in tiled over several sheets, and fill the sheet with small clouds for a class. Type names to print one on each cloud. Print the outline to colour, or a colour version: a white, grey or light blue cloud with blue raindrops. A check square shows the print is true size.

Frequently asked questions
What cloud shapes are there?
A puffy cloud with a flat bottom and 3, 4, 5 or 6 bumps, a fluffy cloud with 10 bumps all the way round, a rain cloud with raindrops, a cloud with a sun, and raindrops on their own.
How many raindrops come with the rain cloud?
6 by default; choose 1-24. Each raindrop is a fifth of the cloud’s width tall, so a 6 in cloud has drops about 1.2 in tall.
How do I make a rain cloud mobile?
Print the rain cloud on card, cut out the cloud and the raindrops, punch a small hole in each drop and hang them under the cloud on thread of different lengths.
What sizes can I print?
Puffy clouds from 3 in to 10 in wide on one US Letter or A4 sheet (the fluffy cloud up to 8 in), and up to 36 in tiled over several sheets. Raindrops on their own from 3/4 in to 24 in tall. The tables on this page show the sizes.
How do I check the print is the right size?
Measure the check square on the first sheet: it must be exactly 1 in (or 2 cm with cm units) on each side. If it is smaller, print again at 100% or Actual size, not Fit to page.
Can I use it with a Cricut or Silhouette?
Yes. Download the SVG: it is true size in millimetres, with the cut lines on their own layer.
Can I sell things I make with these clouds?
The designs are our own drawings: you may use them and anything you make with them, including things you sell, with no credit needed.
