Cornucopia Drawing Art Project

Get ready for Thanksgiving with my engaging cornucopia drawing project for elementary art! The step by step directions for how to draw a cornucopia and drawing template will make kids feel successful.

Imagine these horns of plenty in your hallway alongside a writing prompt. The roll a dice game makes perfect last minute emergency art sub plans, too!

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!

Art integration in the classroom is an effective way to reach and teach all students.

A fun roll a dice game, ‘you pick’ worksheet, and digital spinners helps kids choose fruits and vegetables to draw in their cornucopia. The included horn of plenty template makes drawing easy. Moreover, it’ll boost their confidence and creativity.

And, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you plan art activities for Thanksgiving.

Why You’ll Love My Cornucopia Activity

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My students loved creating their own cornucopia. I really liked using dice to help the students choose which vegetable or fruit they would draw inside their cornucopia. I had my students draw eight items.

I also had them write a paragraph on what they are thankful for and attached it to the bottom of the cornucopia. It was a fun and worthwhile art/writing project!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Great resource to supplement my Thanksgiving themed unit!
