Zany Birthday Cake Coloring Craft
My build a birthday cake coloring craft and writing prompts are the perfect, no prep Read Across America activity for elementary. 3 templates ensure that every birthday cake activity on your March bulletin board is unique! Post your birthday cake crafts and prompts in the hallway to make an engaging Read Across America display.
If you’re racing to figure out what Read Across America craft to quickly put up in the hallway to celebrate, look no further. Students can complete the birthday cake craftivity in one class period. And you can use the accompanying writing prompts to post alongside your projects.
Basically, each child receives a copy of the cake template. Then, they color everything, cut out the parts, and glue it together. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
This Read Across America craftivity also comes with a PowerPoint with step-by-step pictures and simply written directions for young children. Use it for either whole group or small group instruction. Or, assign it to students via Google Classroom, Canvas, etc. so they can work independently.
Are you going to be absent and your substitute won’t have access to technology? No problem! Use the 1-page all-in-one step-by-step picture directions. Just print it out and include it with your sub plans. And then do nothing. Yes, nothing, because I’ve done it all for you!
