Using your paper scissors, trim out the cloud shape in the printable.
Discard excess paper.
Now grab your sheet of blue cardstock and school glue.
Adhere the cloud shape into the center of the blue paper. If desired, cut out some white tissue paper into small squares and cover the cloud for more dimension/an extra crafty step.
Next up – grab your four jumbo popsicle sticks and yellow paint crayon.
Go ahead and “paint” one side of each stick completely yellow.
Set those aside to allow them to dry a bit.
Now grab your yellow cardstock paper and scissors.
Cut out a small circle to be the center of the sun.
Use the wiggle eyes and Sharpie marker to make it “smiling” sun.
Finally – the last step! Go ahead and glue your four yellow painted popsicle sticks into a “star burst” shape on the cloud design..
Follow that up with the yellow paper circle on top of the popsicle sticks to make a sun.
Then add any other embellishments you see fit.
And that’s it! Display your “smiling sunshine cloud” piece proudly for all to see and enjoy!!
