Mitten Drawing Art Game
Need a winter art project for your bulletin board in February? Imagine these cute mitten drawings in your hallway with a writing prompt. The step by step drawing tutorial and PowerPoint also makes perfect no prep, emergency art sub plans for elementary art and general ed teachers. 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders especially!
A fun roll a mitten game, ‘you pick’ worksheet, and digital spinners helps kids choose patterns. Moreover, boost their confidence and creativity.
And, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you plan winter art activities using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers! This winter art lesson includes a mitten template for easy drawing.
Can I tell you a secret? It’s hard to get kids writing in ELA. When they’re not invested in it, they can’t connect with what they’re writing about. Mic drop! Incorporating creative winter art projects like this project for The Mitten helps. Finally keep all kids engaged!

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!

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.
