Happy Birthday Cupcake Drawing Game
Need no prep, cupcake lesson plans? Imagine these Happy Birthday cupcake drawing 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 cupcake 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 plan cupcake activities using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers! This birthday project includes a cupcake 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 art lessons like this cute cupcake drawing project helps. Finally keep all kids engaged!

We love this cupcake activity in my class. We use it every time it’s someone’s birthday via our zoom lessons. The student create the cupcake and write a note on it, then submit a picture of it to our class story on class dojo. It’s a sweet way to celebrate a student’s birthday!

I think I read somewhere about this activity or another cupcake activity being combined with the “If you give a cat a cupcake” book by Lara Numeroff. I’ve always loved those books and I think it’s a great idea! A suggestion but not really necessary….maybe have a few different options for the icing outline. This icing is more flat/dome shape, so maybe have another that’s more layered and possibly comes to a peak.
