This rainbow clipart page brings together 12 sky and weather pictures: three rainbows, puffy clouds, a rain cloud, a red umbrella, a storm with a lightning bolt, a tornado and swirling wind. Every file is a transparent PNG, which means a cloud floats over a blue slide or a weather chart with no white patch around it.
Hit Download PNG for the file itself, or use Copy and drop it right onto a page you are building. The checkerboard preview shows the clear edges, and the any color option lets you test a rainbow on your own paper shade. Sunny days are covered on our sun clipart page, and night skies live on the moon and star clipart page.

Weather Chart and Lesson Ideas
- Preschool: Make a weather wheel with the sun, the rain cloud, the umbrella and a cloud. A child turns the arrow each morning to match the window.
- Kindergarten and grade 1: Build a month-long weather graph. Each day, add a small picture in the right column, then count which weather won.
- Grades 2 and 3: Use the rainbow outline to teach color order, then link it to light and prisms. For cold weather days, mix in snow pictures from our winter clipart set.
- Grades 4 and 5: The storm cloud and tornado suit severe weather reports and safety drills. Ask students to list where to go and what to bring.
Sizing and Cutting Clouds and Rainbows
Each download measures 1000 by 1000 pixels. On a 300 dpi printer it holds a clean edge up to roughly 3 inches across, which fits weather wheel slots, flash cards and sticker sheets. A rainbow for a classroom door can go bigger, though the edges will look softer past 5 inches.
Clouds are easy to cut because they have no sharp corners. Rainbows are trickier: cut the outside curve first, then the inside curve, and keep the paper turning instead of the scissors. For a mobile, print a cloud twice, glue the copies back to back, and hang paper raindrops from its base with thread.
Planning a beach or pool day, not a rainy one? The beach clipart page has a beach umbrella, towels and shells.

Questions people ask
Is this rainbow clipart free for school and home?
Yes, with a few simple limits. Teachers, parents and students can use these rainbows and clouds for lessons, school events and personal projects that are not sold. Crediting us is optional. Selling the files, alone or bundled, is not allowed, and if a picture will appear on something you sell, please ask us through the Contact page.
Where can I find umbrella clipart black and white?
Check the black and white group near the bottom for an open umbrella outline with striped panels and a hooked handle. It prints in black ink only and makes a good color by number sheet. A full color red umbrella sits in the cloud and rain section.
Is there cloud clipart black and white for coloring?
The rainbow outline in the bottom group has a puffy cloud at each end, so kids get clouds and stripes to color in one picture. Print it about 3 inches wide for a worksheet corner, or larger on a slide.
What weather clipart works for a daily weather chart?
Use the fluffy cloud, the rain cloud, the umbrella and the wind gusts, plus a sun from our sun page. They share simple shapes, so they read well at one to two inches on a chart pocket.
Do you have lightning bolt clipart and tornado clipart?
There is a realistic storm cloud with a yellow lightning bolt, a black zigzag bolt silhouette and a flat gray tornado. The tornado is drawn calm and simple so it does not frighten young children.
Can I put a cute rainbow on a slide with a dark background?
Yes. The cute rainbow has a transparent background and bright stripes, so it stays clear on navy or dark teal. Use the chalkboard preview first to check how it looks.
