Mitten Drawing Art Game

Need a winter art project for your December bulletin board? Imagine your hallway decorated with these mitten drawing art projects and writing prompts. The step by step drawing guide, mitten template, PowerPoint and demonstration video make perfect no prep, art sub plans for elementary art.

That’s right. Sit back while I teach your 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders how to play the roll a dice game to draw and paint their mitten 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 art lessons for winter using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers!

So get ready to plan winter art activities like this project for The Mitten easily.

Why You’ll Love It

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 

This was an awesome activity and a great way to do a different type of painting. The kids loved it when the marker worked as paint. I used this one and the mittens to go with our school theme this year! 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

This was a great activity to pair with Jan Brett’s “The Mitten”.  I used this activity right after break with my students after reading “The Mitten”.  Worked perfectly!! 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

My students loved using this product while I was out caring for my husband. The sub stated the kids were engaged. I also did the lesson with a couple classes after I returned and those students really enjoyed the activity. We reviewed line and pattern with this mitten.
