A simple and fun guide to help 3-year-olds understand what clouds are and their role in the sky.
Okay, little buddy! Let’s talk about clouds! 🌥️
1. What are clouds? Clouds are like soft, fluffy pillows in the sky. They are made of tiny drops of water or tiny pieces of ice that float up high where it's cold.
2. How do clouds form? When the sun warms up the water in rivers and lakes, some of that water turns into a gas called vapor. This vapor goes up into the air, and when it cools down, it turns back into tiny water drops to make clouds!
3. What do clouds do? Clouds can make shade on sunny days and help make rain when they get full of water. When they are very heavy and full, they drop the water down, and we get rain! 🌧️
4. Types of clouds: Some clouds are white and fluffy, like cotton candy, while others are gray and look like big, soft blankets. Clouds can also be tall and look like mountains!
5. Fun fact: Sometimes, we can see shapes in the clouds, like animals or faces. Can you find shapes in the clouds when you look up?
So, next time you look up at the sky and see those fluffy clouds, you’ll know they’re made of tiny drops of water and have an important job to do!
