Now soaring in Kindergarten
We returned to school last Wednesday and the first thing I saw was an empty bulletin board. I wanted a craft that would be easy and quick and it needed to be snow-related. We just had our first snow the day before, I knew my students would be excited! What to do? How about a snowman craft? I whipped up this cute Snowman Craft and
Christmas Directed Drawings are an easy way to add art and fun into these crazy days before the holiday break! Students need as much help as possible to practice following directions and paying attention. These easy and fun directed drawings for Christmas include in the monthly pack: a reindeer, Santa, an ornament, an elf, and a moose. (I included the moose to go along with
Jan Brett Activities: Jan Brett is the perfect author for this time of year. Her books and illustrations are fun to share. My students are especially fond of the windows on each page that show what is coming and what has happened. First up is The Hat since this is the book I made my first activity for because I couldn’t find anything I liked.
Wood Christmas Ornament: This year I decided to do something a little different than the traditional reindeer on doily ornament (see HERE). Instead I chose to buy these cute little wood discs (predrilled) for our thumbprint reindeer ornament. The Christmas ornament is a simple and sweet keepsake that parents will treasure always. Find the discs Wood Ornaments on Amazon, be sure to choose the 3.1″-3.5″

I tried my best to include an assortment in varying difficulty because not all kids are ready for the complicated drawings! The Nativity directed drawings are perfect for Sunday School classes or Christian School classrooms, although anyone celebrating can
Polar Bear Collage Craft Polar Bear Collage Craft: I love Polar Bear Week! We started with books and videos about Polar Bears and finished the week with a fun craft that combined my Directed Drawing for a Polar Bear along with tissue squares and Mod Podge. The outcome was unique and adorable! I started out with these tissue squares from Amazon: Fiber Craft Tissue Paper
January Directed Drawings January Directed Drawings: January’s update includes Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, a Snowman, a Fox, a Polar Bear, and a Penguin Directed or Guided Drawing. It’s been a bit crazy recently, so I apologize for the delay! I am working on February and March drawings to complete the bundle and I *hope* to have them in the pack before we go back to
February will be here before you know it and with it comes the season of love…so I decided to revise a Valentine’s Day craft pack from back in the day and add a close read and some super cute, updated pages for that day of love! <3 The close read is not as detailed as my typical ones, it’s just a bit of history about the
We learned about penguins this week….we read about them with my Penguin Close Read, we made the cute ones shown below from my Penguin Pack, we did a directed drawing {found HERE for free} and don’t forget that we watched penguins on the penguin cam, too! But that’s not all we did, we also learned a little about suspensions while we created the most amazing
