Digital Build A Christmas Tree Art Project
No prep sub plans for elementary are easy with my engaging, digital art project to build a Christmas tree on Google Slides™. Students will practice technology skills with my Christmas tree template and step by step art lesson. Then, pick a writing prompt to draft a creative story about their tree craft at Christmastime.
Need fun, fast finisher activities for elementary? Digital art projects are paperless, take up no space, and don’t use art materials. Simply assign the Christmas tree project using your LMS, and stop worrying about early finishers!

The instructional slides are clear and are a great reference. The choices of decorations are extensive! I even compiled our trees for a class tree parade to show off each student’s tree! I love this and will plan on using it each year – virtual or not!

Loved this activity and used before Winter break. I was able to get my students to ask for specific items to complete the task. They seemed quite engaged.

I started with the Turkey and I am absolutely already in love with these, I have added them into my google classroom and when the students have free time they are allowed to create one scene a week and we vote on our favorite for fun. Thank you for making this resource, it is so simple and fun.

We are normally in class 4 days of virtual every Friday. However, we have now gone virtual for a period of time, including the few days before Christmas Break. I had lots of fun activities planned for in class but had to re-plan for virtual! I found this and used it Monday afternoon with my students. They loved it. The instructional slides are clear and are a great reference. The choices of decorations are extensive! I even compiled our trees for a class tree parade to show off each student’s tree! I love this and will plan on using it each year – virtual or not! 🙂 Thank you!
