Digital Gingerbread Man Art Project
No prep sub plans for elementary are easy with my engaging, digital art project to build a gingerbread man on Google Slides™. Students will practice technology skills with my gingerbread man template and step by step art lesson. Then, pick a writing prompt to draft a creative story about their gingerbread craft.
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 sweater project using your LMS, and stop worrying about early finishers!
