   Once upon a time, tiny, snow-white Fluffy Cloud was floating over Istanbul, the beautiful city of Turkey. The sky was bright blue.

Looking down, he saw children playing joyfully. The children were busy little explorers, holding up their very own 'My Sky Cloud Cards' to the sky, identifying clouds like Cirrus, Stratus, and Cumulus!

Fluffy Cloud was so excited to see these curious children. He danced in the sun, heralding that the weather was going to be beautiful today!   

   After discovering all the cloud types with their 'My Sky Cloud Cards', the children were full of inspiration! They didn't want to forget their new friend Fluffy Cloud.

They went back to their classroom and sat at their desks. Using paint and foam soap, they created their own soft, magical clouds—just like the Cumulus clouds they saw in the garden.

And so, every time these little explorers step outside, they look up at the bright blue sky and happily wave hello, knowing that their soft friend Fluffy Cloud will always be there to smile back at them.

One sunny day, Fluffy Cloud flew to Poland and saw               the children from Mysiadlo Preschool playing outside.

"Hello, Fluffy Cloud!" - the children said, waving their hands happily.

Cloud began to dance joyfully across the sky, creating funny shapes – a dinosaur, a giant excavator, and a dancing kitten. Suddenly, he transformed into a giant pancake!

"Oh my, now we're all hungry!" - the children laughed and ran off to dinner.

When they returned to the playground, Fluffy Cloud was waiting for them. It scattered tiny raindrops in the sun, and a beautiful rainbow appeared over the preschool.

The children decided to commemorate this special meeting with their own art work. Seeing this, Fluffy Cloud smiled and whispered: "Smile every day, my dears, and one day I'll come back to you!"

Since then, children have always looked at the sky with a smile, looking for their magical friend – Fluffy Cloud. 

The next day, Fluffy Cloud flew to Kraków. From above, she could see the trees, the

kindergarten, and children playing in the garden. She drifted lower and lower until she could hear the children's voices.

“Do you want to see my new umbrella? It’s beautiful! My mummy bought it for me yesterday,” said a little girl.

“It doesn’t look like it will rain. Let’s go and play hide-and-seek.”

“I don’t want to play hide-and-seek. Look, I can see a cloud!”

“It’s small and white. It won’t rain!”

Fluffy Cloud was soft and white, but she always felt sad because she couldn’t make heavy rain like the other big clouds. So she asked the wind if it could help her. The wind blew into Fluffy Cloud, and she became bigger and bigger. Soon she changed colour to dark blue, and the first drops of rain started falling down.

“It’s starting to rain! Let’s go back!” said the teacher.

Everyone quickly went inside the building. Only the little girl opened her beautiful, colourful umbrella and slowly but happily walked towards the kindergarten.

The wind was blowing harder and harder, and the cloud was moving away from the Kraków. She was very curious about where she would go and what would happen to her next.

Fluffy Cloud travelled on with the wind until she reached Lithuania. She grew bigger and bigger, and soon she became so large that she covered the sun.

The children looked up and noticed the sky turning grey.

“Where is the sun?” they asked. 

Fluffy Cloud felt sorry, because she did not want to hide the sun for too long. She tried to become smaller and lighter.

Slowly, small pieces of sunlight began to appear through the clouds. “Look! The sun is coming back!” the children shouted happily. Fluffy Cloud drifted higher and lighter, and soon the sun shone again. The children smiled and waved at the sky, and Fluffy Cloud continued her journey, happy to bring both rain and sunshine.

On the 12th of May, children from different countries 

met under the same blue sky. 

The weather suddenly came alive inside their classrooms.

The children swished like the 

whispering wind,tapped softly like 

falling rain,flashed like dancing 

lightning, and turned around like 

the glowing sun. Laughter floated 

from country to country like little 

clouds  travelling across the sky.

Then the children in Greece looked outside their window…

The white clouds moved slowly away, and a giant golden sun appeared in the bright blue sky. 

Its warm rays filled the classroom with light, colours, movement, and happy smiles. 

Inspired by the magical weather, the children worked together to paint a huge shining sun for their friends across Europe.

And for a little while, all the children shared the very same sky together.

Croatia

       It was early morning when a few small white clouds came from the south across the Croatian sky. Something caught their attention. They moved closer to the ground to see what it was. They saw children laughing, dancing, clapping to the sound of the rain. Oh, how much they would love to play too. So they did. They gathered all the rain clouds they could find. The sky changed from white-blue to all kinds of grey and dark blue. The clouds danced all the time. And they sang. Then, suddenly, the rain began — so heavy and so fast, as if it had been impatient to come and play. All kinds of raindrops played and played, as if they would never stop.

This is what the children observed and tried to capture in their little works of art.

"Zmajići"

        …Dar, după o vreme, picăturile au început să obosească. Dansul lor devenea tot mai lent, iar râsetele copiilor se transformă în șoapte liniștite. Norii s-au privit între ei și au înțeles că jocul lor nu trebuie să țină o veșnicie ca să fie frumos.

        Un vânt blând este purtat mai departe, peste munți și câmpii, până când au ajuns deasupra României. Acolo, cerul aștepta liniștit, ca o panză albastră pregătită pentru o nouă poveste.

            Norii s-au adunat din nou, dar de date aceasta nu mai erau grăbiți. Au început să se miște încet, desenând forme ciudate: ba un urs uriaș, ba un castel cu turnuri înalte, ba chiar și o barcă plutind pe cer. Copiii de jos priveau uimiți și arătau cu degetul:   
— Uite! Un dragon!   
— Nu, e un iepure!

  ROMÂNIA

        Norii zâmbeau în felul lor tăcut și se lasă modelați de vânt, bucuroși că pot stârni imaginația celor mici.    La un moment dat, dintre nori, mai jucăuș, a lăsat să cadă câteva piccături fine, ca o mângâiere. Nu era o ploaie puternică, ci mai degrabă o șoaptă a cerului. Picăturile străluceau în lumină și, dintr-o dată, pe cer a apărut un curcubeu mare și colorat. 

        Copiii au aplaudat, iar norii s-au luminat de bucurie. Învățaseră ceva nou: nu doar furtuna poate aduce fericire, ci și liniștea, culorile și joaca fără grabă.

Iar de atunci, ori de câte ori ajung deasupra României, norii nu se grăbesc. Se opresc, privesc, se joacă și spun povești pe cer —    pentru toți cei care știu să ridice ochii și să viseze, apoi se lasa purtati de vant spre alte taramuri.

TÜRKİYE 

When the clouds arrived in Türkiye, they were curious.
Would the children only watch them… or would they create something too? The children looked up and noticed the soft clouds moving slowly across the sky. One child had an idea: “What if we keep the clouds with us?” First, the children used soft cotton and blue paper to create their own clouds. They carefully shaped, stretched, and arranged each piece, giving every cloud its own character and story.  Some clouds looked calm. Some looked playful. Some looked ready for a new adventure.  Then, the children took special cloud frames outside and looked through them toward the sky. The real clouds and the children’s cloud windows seemed to become one. Looking through their handmade frames, the children discovered new shapes:A fish.A bird.A smiling face. A floating castle.

Suddenly, something magical happened.The real clouds and the children’s cloud windows seemed to become one.Looking through their handmade frames, the children discovered new shapes:A fish.A bird.A smiling face.A floating castle. The clouds were surprised.“They are not only watching us,” whispered one cloud.
“They are imagining with us.” 

The clouds danced happily above the school and left behind one quiet message “Clouds change shapes, but imagination has no limits.” The children smiled and promised: “Wherever you travel next, we will keep  looking up.” And carrying the children’s creativity and dreams, the clouds continued their journey to another country…
