EXTRA FUN: Or for extra crafting fun grab a paper plate and cut it in half to create your own cloud.

Step 3 OPTIONAL: Glue some cotton balls onto your cloud for added fluffiness and fun!

Step 4: Cut out and glue the rainbow rays behind the cloud.

EXTRA FUN: If you use the black and white version of the rainbow rays then you can have your students color in the rays themselves (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple).

PRO TIP: Don’t want to spend time coloring or waste your colored ink? Another idea is to simply cut out your own rainbow rays from colored paper or colored cardstock for extra durability.

Step 5: Have your students color and practice their articulation words or language skill of your choosing.

Step 6: Have your students cut and then glue their target words or language skill onto the rainbow ray of their choosing. (you could have your students practice their target word again after gluing it down)
