Spring Umbrella Art Game
Need no prep, Spring art projects for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders? Imagine these Spring umbrella projects in your hallway with a writing prompt. The step by step drawing tutorial and PowerPoint also makes perfect emergency art sub plans for elementary art and general ed teachers.
A fun roll a dice game, ‘you pick’ worksheet, and digital spinners helps kids choose patterns. Moreover, boost their confidence and creativity.
And, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you craft an umbrella art project using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers! This first day of Spring activity includes an umbrella template for easy drawing.
Can I tell you a secret? It’s hard to get kids writing in ELA. When they’re not invested in it, they can’t connect with what they’re writing about. Mic drop!
Incorporating creative Spring art lessons like this umbrella activity helps. Finally keep all kids engaged!

My students love the interactive part of this project. By rolling the dice and copying the patter selected. They were taken a little outside of their comfort zone. This dice also made all our their umbrellas unique to them. 🙂
