Thankfully, there are so many fantastic options for winter-directed drawing activities! Students will love becoming artists in the classroom.

Directed Drawing for Winter

Drawing has always been a favorite activity for students! So, incorporating some art with content is an amazing way to bring learning alive in the classroom.

In the winter edition of the Directed Drawing bundle, students will design their artwork by following directions embedded onto the page. There are even templates for a polar bear and penguin! After creating their masterpiece, students can write about it. There are 10 differentiated templates so that all students, regardless of ability, can participate in the same drawing.

Be sure to check out the FREE Skating Penguin video to help guide students as they draw.

Directed Drawing for Math

Kids love drawing! Thankfully, this bundle of over 700 math task cards will show them how much they love math!
