WHAT TEACHERS ARE SAYING

★★★★ “This year-long directed drawing bundle is such a great resource for elementary students! I love having seasonal and holiday-themed activities all in one place, which makes planning so much easier. The step-by-step format is easy for students to follow and helps build confidence, especially for kids who may not consider themselves “artists.” The included drawing pages, colored examples, and lesson plans make this resource incredibly convenient and flexible. It would be perfect for art class, morning work, centers, early finishers, or sub plans. A wonderful time-saving resource that keeps students engaged while building important drawing and fine motor skills!” LaToyia D., TPT review

HOW TO USE IT

The pages alternate between a step-by-step page and a drawing page, so you can copy them double-sided to make directed drawing booklets. You can also print a single directed drawing and have students draw on blank paper, or use the pages with sketchbooks or duotangs. Check the lesson plan for materials, then choose pencil only, markers, crayons, colored pencils, oil pastels or watercolor backgrounds.

Use the drawings for morning work tubs, art center rotations, whole-class guided drawing, sub plans, indoor recess, early finishers, homeschool art and fine motor practice. Students build sequencing, spatial awareness, creative coloring techniques and artistic independence, while still adding their own interpretation.
