Digital Snowflake Art Project
My no prep, digital art project for elementary kids to build a snowflake on Google Slides™ is easy and engaging. Students will practice technology skills using my digital winter snowflake resource and step by step art lesson. Then, pick a winter writing prompt to draft a creative story about their snowflake project.
Need fun, fast finisher activities for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders? Digital art projects are paperless, take up no space, and don’t use art materials. Simply assign the snowflake activity using your LMS, and stop worrying about early finishers!

First, your students will pick a background. Then, they’ll add a snowflake and center design. Then they’ll add various shapes to design one “leg” of the snowflake.

My students loved creating digital snowflakes using Google Slides! We read the story, Snowflake Bentley, and they learned some tips on how to build their own online. Some parts were tricky for kids (like the grouping feature), but as they used it more they became more comfortable with their new skills. This is a great resource for showing how to arrange images to the back of the Slide. Thank you for this extremely in-depth lesson!

I am fully remote and have been looking for different ways for my students to create, especially since I have found that some students might not have any sort of materials to use. I purchased this resource after having a lot of success using the “Build a digital Snowman” resource with my upper elementary classes (I purchased these before they were bundled). This challenged students a bit more than the snowman, but they were really excited about what they created and the results were great.
