Lightning cloud in wood – grey plywood cutout, 5–50 cm

The children's birthday party is coming up. The theme is weather, superheroes or simply a wild thunderstorm. And the wall above the party table still looks rather bare. A wooden cloud with a lightning bolt adds the motif that's missing: a grey wooden cloud with a bright yellow bolt, just right for your decoration idea. You choose the size from 5 to 50 cm and hang up both pieces. Now the room has its theme.

What changes for you

• Your weather motif is ready to use straight away. The cloud and bolt arrive already stained in colour on one side. No priming, no painting needed.
• You can arrange them freely, because the bolt and cloud come as two separate pieces. Place them side by side, offset, or as a hanging mobile – whatever suits your idea.
• It always fits your project. You choose the size in 1 cm steps between 5 and 50 cm. From a small card embellishment to a large wall decoration.
• You can craft with children without worry, because the stain meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3.
• You can carry on without sanding. The laser-cut edges are smooth, with the typical brown colouring.

Why this wooden cloud makes a difference every day

Printed decorations are everywhere. A wooden motif feels different and looks different on the wall. In the children's room, the party corner or the shop window, the cloud with lightning bolt looks handmade, not like throwaway decoration. And because the motif doesn't date, you simply bring it out again after the party instead of buying new.

Material & finish

The grey cloud with yellow lightning bolt – often searched for simply as lightning cloud – is laser-cut from 3 mm plywood. It is made in our own production in Pößneck, Thuringia. The stain is applied neatly on one side and meets DIN EN 71-3. The back is left natural, so you can paint it or stick things on it as you like. Wood is a natural material. Small differences in shade and grain or fine knots are not a defect. They make every piece one of a kind.

How to use the cloud with lightning bolt

• Crafting with children: stick the small sizes onto invitation cards or presents. The thunderstorm party announces itself in the letterbox.
• In the children's room: put a large cloud with lightning bolt above the bed or play corner. From now on, the wall tells its own weather story.
• For birthdays or parties: hang the bolt and cloud on strings, offset from each other. The room gets its theme in a few minutes, without much setting up.
• In the shop or café: use it as window decoration for a rain or autumn theme. A wooden motif is sturdier than paper and can be reused year after year.
• Decorating presents: tie a small cutout onto the parcel. The present has a story to tell before it's even unwrapped.

Good to know about the cloud with lightning bolt

Everyone knows the cloud with lightning bolt as a classic weather map symbol. Hardly any sign is understood so quickly, by children and adults alike. That's why the motif works for many purposes. Use it as a learning aid for the topic of weather, at a themed party, or as a tongue-in-cheek decoration for anyone who loves thunderstorms.

Care & durability

There's not much you need to do. An occasional dry dusting is enough. Avoid constant damp and wet, as plywood is a natural material. Used indoors, the stained surface keeps its colour for a long time.

Frequently asked questions

Are the cloud and bolt joined together? No, both pieces are supplied separately. So you can arrange them freely, hang them up or use them on their own.

Is the motif stained on both sides? No, the stain is applied on one side. The back is left natural and is suitable for painting or sticking things on.

Is the stain suitable for children's projects? The stain used meets the requirements of DIN EN 71-3.

How are the dimensions measured? The width covers the whole cloud from left to right. The height covers the cloud and bolt from top to bottom.

Why does my cutout look slightly different from the picture? Wood is a natural material – shade, grain and small knots vary. This makes every piece one of a kind.

Picture the moment the children walk into the room. They spot the cloud with the yellow lightning bolt, and the party starts before the cake is even on the table. Just choose your size – the motif does the rest.
