WINTER SKATE

This lesson features a low-prep, simplified template version plus a more detailed drawing option to accommodate different ability levels, as well as availability of supplies. You can pick and choose what works best for you!

Learning opportunities encourage the development of fine motor activities such as tracing and cutting, drawing seasonal embellishments, tactile enhancements with yarn and threading plus coloring techniques.

WINTER WONDERLAND

The lesson features several different printmaking techniques that are perfect for the 2nd and 3rd grade set – stamping with bubble wrap, sponge painting and marker printing with foam. All three techniques are engaging and kinesthetic, while also being a doable way to ease into printmaking with your students without the need for lots of extra supplies, like brayers or special printmaking ink.

WHIMSICAL GINGERBREAD HOUSE

The lesson focuses heavily on line and shape, as students learn to draw their own Victorian style gingerbread house. Victorian houses are typically complicated and ornate, so even 4th and 5th graders can be successful in creating their own embellished gingerbread house using the techniques detailed in the project guide.

REINDEER EXPRESS VILLAGE

In this lesson, students will create their own decorative ticket booth, featuring windows and doors that actually open, all topped with ornate Scandinavian-inspired lines and patterns. This lesson offers lots of choices and opportunities for personalization, once students learn the basics of the techniques, which makes it perfect for more self-directed 5th through 7th graders.
