Christmas Ornament Coloring Craft
My build an ornament coloring craft and writing prompts are the perfect, no prep Christmas activity for 1st and 2nd grade. 3 templates ensure that every ornament activity on your December bulletin board is unique! Post your Christmas ornament crafts and prompts in the hallway to make an engaging holiday display.
If you’re racing to figure out what cute project to quickly put up in the hallway for Christmas, look no further. Students can complete the craft part in one class period. And you can use the accompanying writing prompts to post alongside your tree ornaments.
Basically, each child receives a copy of the ornament craft template. Then, they color everything, cut out the parts, and glue it together. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
This craftivity also comes with a PowerPoint with step-by-step pictures and simply written directions for young children. Use it for either whole group or small group instruction. Or, assign it to students via Google Classroom, Canvas, etc. so they can work independently.
Are you going to be absent and your substitute won’t have access to technology? No problem! Use the 1-page all-in-one step-by-step picture directions. Just print it out and include it with your sub plans. And then do nothing. Yes, nothing, because I’ve done it all for you!

- 1 Non-Editable PowerPoint Slideshow – Includes large, step-by-step picture directions and text so students independently and you can reclaim valuable class time to work with needy students.
