New Year’s Hat Art Project
Need a New Year’s hat art project for elementary kids? Imagine your hallway decorated with these party hats for New Year’s Eve and writing prompts. The step by step drawing guide, 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 New Year’s 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 New Year’s activities for using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers!
