Spring Roll and Draw Directed Drawing Activities Spring Directed Drawing Game

These Spring Roll and Draw activities turn directed drawing into a game. Students roll a dice to decide which features they draw, so every student ends up with a unique, often funny artwork, and they can repeat the activity without ever making the same drawing twice.

The booklet has 10 spring-themed drawing games with animals, flowers and seasonal objects. Students practice drawing skills, creativity, problem solving and artistic confidence, and the low-prep format suits spring art lessons, early finishers, sketchbooks, sub plans, homeschool and creative centers.
