Elf Hat Art Project
Need a Christmas elf hat art project for your December bulletin board? Imagine your hallway decorated with these elf hats and writing prompts. The step by step drawing guide, elf hat template, PowerPoint and demonstration video make perfect no prep, art sub plans for elementary art.
That’s right. Sit back while I teach your students how to play the roll a dice game and design the elf hat art project myself! Kids can also choose patterns using the ‘you pick’ worksheet or digital spinners—whatever works best for you!
Plus, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you plan projects for Christmas using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers!
