One of the best things you can do as an art teacher, is identify the quick art projects that require 30-40 minutes of your time. Creating a “bank” of these lessons can literally save you tons of stress simple by knowing they are there.
This is exactly the type of project I like to have on hand during the fall when pumpkins, scarecrows and autumn collages are filling up the art room.
HERE’S A VIDEO TO WATCH:
These paper crows are so simple. Just photocopy the template onto cardstock, cut out and place in trays for each table group. Older kids can cut the templates on their own.
Give each child a pencil, some black paper and scraps of yellow paper. Trace and cut all the crow pieces and glue to a colored piece of paper, a painted piece of paper OR just assemble without any background at all.
Arrange in your classroom and enjoy this wonderful season.

I have not liked any of your projects you have put out in the last 6 months. They look like crafts and not the art you used to post. 🙁
All of my new art lessons are in my Sparklers Club. Providing rich, standard-based lessons for our members is where our focus is. While your comment is rather negative, I understand that art, not crafts, is the preference for many of my readers.
I think your ideas and Deep Space Sparkle are marvellous Patty! 🙂 Helena (I am an artist but also teach art as therapy to people with head injuries) X
This looks like fun for first and second graders
Great little video-thanks! For my special needs students this looks great. Painting, tracing, coloring for the fall leaves, cutting, glueing. Lots of skills they can practice. Will try it tomorrow!
In my email, I can’t access the paper crow template? the link does not work?
for all tech support, please contact support@deepspacesparkle.com Thank you!
In stark contrast to the earlier negative comment Patty, I absolutely love all of the resources you provide. Used in the correct attainment group they provide an exciting exploration of a variety of art skills. Children need to practice all techniques and skill to become confident, your ideas support that most definitely. Thank you for all the hard work and support you give to us arty/crafty teachers…. we love it. ❤️
Love you for saying this! Thank you!
This is a great project for younger students. I really like incorporating the watercolor background. Nice technique. Definitely going to use this one.

Thank you for sharing it – for free!
Love this!
My elementary students absolutely adore this project! They got excited when looking at it without even making it. I’m also really adamant about building skills. I think those that choose to comment negatively are perhaps not inducing the skills themselves. After all, it’s really up to us how we execute the lesson and what layers we could bring to enhance meaning, as well as foundational skills. I just wanted to thank you for taking the time and effort to utilize your skills in creating a wonderful assortment of resources for art educators. Keep doing what you are doing! Education is not a place for judgement, but rather a place for collaboration, inspiration, and learning. We must enter with open hearts, minds, and use our resources thoughtfully. Thank you!
I am interested in trying your products!
