Candy Cane Art Game
Need no prep, Christmas art activities? Imagine these Candy Cane art 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. And, boost their confidence and creativity.
And, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you plan Christmas art projects using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers! This holiday art lesson includes a candy cane 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 Christmas art activities like this candy cane helps. Finally keep all kids engaged!
