Finish the Drawing Worksheets
Need no prep squiggle drawing worksheets for the substitute art teacher or as an early finisher activity? Here are some simple, but fun finish the drawing exercises elementary and middle school kids can do using paper and pencil.
Finish the picture with markers, crayons, or colored pencils for added enjoyment. There’s no reason the learning can’t continue when you’re absent! That’s why these doodle art worksheets are great as art sub plans. But they also work well for brain breaks, indoor recess, and after the test activities.
The benefit to these picture squiggle exercises is that it will help your students stretch their creative imagination. They’ll begin to think outside the box and challenge themselves to draw new and unique things. And, their drawing skills will improve over time along with their creative thinking and problem-solving skills.
Lastly, these should be used as simple drawing exercises. And not as a graded assignment. The idea is to get kids drawing with prompts!
Finish the Drawing Exercise Worksheets
Each page of this finish the drawing activity has 9 boxes with a simple doodle inside each. Students will look at the squiggle, decide what it looks like, and use their imagination to complete the drawing. The exciting part is that every student’s drawing will be finished in a unique way!
There are 18 line drawing exercises in the packet. Give each child one or two of these worksheets for art at the beginning of the school year as an easy bellringer activity.
Teachers can assign them by grade level depending on how many grades are taught. So first grade gets one art worksheet. Second grade is assigned two worksheets. Third grade gets three drawing exercises. And so on.
Remember: less is more with printables for fast finishers. They’ll just race on to the next one.
Student Directions

I use these for my students who have completed their projects and need something to work on for the remainder of the class.
An easy early finisher or sub plan for my students. It helps engage their creativity while still working independently!
As an occasional teacher I was looking for something to put into my “supply binder” and found this resource! Students have loved using these pages and stay engaged for quite some time finishing the drawings! They are so fun and so easy to print & go! Highly recommend if you are a supply teacher or leaving extra things for a supply to do for any extra time!
I can’t brag on this activity enough! We use this as our morning work once a week and they love it!
Great resource for end of the year! Students loved having this as additional engaging activities! They all shared their creations.
