Benefits of Directed Drawing

Fine Motor Skills: Directed drawing nurtures fine motor skills, essential for writing and other dexterous tasks. As students grasp and manipulate drawing tools, their hand-eye coordination and muscle control refine.
Creativity: Directed drawing sparks imagination and creativity. Students are encouraged to explore colors, shapes, and patterns - and to add their own unique touches to each creation!

Writing Foundations: Directed drawing lays the groundwork for writing and also improves handwriting skills. Students learn to follow visual instructions, recognize and manipulate shapes, and maintain consistent pencil strokes – all essential elements of handwriting!

Unleash Kid's Inner Artist: Draw 15 Amazing Animals!

Join us on a fun adventure to create 15 incredible animals! This easy-to-follow guide uses simple shapes to break down each drawing into 7 manageable steps.

Here's what you'll get:

• Step-by-step instructions: We'll start with basic shapes and gradually add details, making drawing fun and achievable.
• 15 unique animals: Unleash kid's creativity with a variety of creatures, from cuddly cats to funny a happy rooster.
• Confidence boost: By the final step, kid'll be drawing and coloring the favorite animals independently, feeling proud of themself artistic skills!

Get ready to be surprised by what they can create!

This fabulous and engaging K-2 activity will gradually allow young learners to enjoy drawing and creating fantastic art pieces. Step-by-step instructions allow each student to create classroom materials drawings during whole group instruction or independent learning time. Students can then add vocabulary, sentences, or a short idea to describe their object. This fun and exciting activity grows as students grow throughout the year.

I create a practice art notebook for students where each piece gets glued into their book as they develop mastery. The added creative writing element means they learn to talk about art in a French too!

How to prepare this resource:

Make a copy of each page and distribute to students. You can arrange to have them all done in a booklet form or, as I do, I make copies at the beginning of the year and add pages to a ‘cahier d’art’ for students to work on at their own pace once we have done a few as a group.

Students love the independence of working on the art piece on their own and as language production develops, they even go back to their first drawings to add details and sentences to describe their work!

When to use this resource in the classroom:

These activities can be used from the first week of school. Following instructions, mastering step-by-step directions can start at any time during the school year. Students will love using these pages as their confidence grows as each step shows dotted line additions that add a version of what each step looks like.

As language develops during the year, students can add details, descriptions, or story starters to prompt creative writing.

I hope your students enjoy learning to draw these classroom materials!

Appropriate audience:

I use these posters in my French Immersion classroom with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students. I feel confident that they could be used for any grade from K-6

I would love to know how you are using this product in your classroom. Please feel free to contact me directly if you have anything to say about this resource. I love helping teachers as much as I can. A product review also is a great way of letting me know, and leaving a review earns you extra credit for more amazing TeachShare products!

What grade level:

I personally use these texts with Grade 1 and Grade 2 students in French Immersion. I feel confident that students from Kindergarten to Grade Three will find these most useful and teachers can come back to the texts with any students who may be experiencing challenges in their French reading skills. Core French teachers will be sure to add the resource to their repertoire for Grades 4 to 6 as they learn to read and write at the Junior level.

Qui peut se servir de cette ressource?

J’utilise cette affiches dans ma classe d’immersion française avec des élèves de 1e et 2e. Je suis convaincu qu’ils pourraient être utilisés pour n’importe quel niveau de la maternelle à la 6eannée.

Perfect for classrooms or home use, this hand-drawn turkey artwork allows students to express their creativity while learning about the Thanksgiving holiday. Designed to captivate and entertain, this activity is ideal for developing fine motor skills, fostering creativity, and encouraging artistic expression. Whether as part of a holiday lesson or a standalone craft, this free Thanksgiving coloring activity will keep students excited and involved.

This engaging activity offers two creative approaches to exploring Thanksgiving traditions and food.

Option 1: Dramatic Play

• Laminated Play Food: Create a set of laminated food items, such as turkey, mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, pumpkin pie, and rolls.
• Dramatic Play Area: Place the laminated food items in the dramatic play area, along with play plates, utensils, and tablecloths.
• Student Engagement: Encourage students to create their own Thanksgiving dinner plates by selecting and arranging the food items.

Option 2: Arts and Crafts

• Food Cutouts: Provide students with pre-cut shapes of various Thanksgiving foods.
• Creative Assembly: Allow students to color, decorate, and cut out the food items.
• Thanksgiving Plate: Have students glue the food items onto a paper plate to create their own personalized Thanksgiving dinner.

Benefits for Students:
Both approaches offer a multitude of benefits for students:
Cognitive Development:

• Problem-Solving: Students must decide which foods to include on their plates, considering their preferences and dietary restrictions.
• Decision-Making: They can practice making choices about food portions and combinations.
• Sequencing: Students can sequence the steps involved in preparing a Thanksgiving meal, from cooking to serving.

Social-Emotional Development:

• Cooperation: Students can work together to set up the dramatic play area or assist each other with the arts and crafts project.
• Communication: They can discuss their food choices, preferences, and Thanksgiving traditions with peers.
• Empathy: By imagining themselves as hosts of a Thanksgiving dinner, students can develop empathy for others.

Language Development:

• Vocabulary: Students can learn new vocabulary related to Thanksgiving, such as "turkey," "stuffing," and "cranberry sauce."
• Sentence Structure: They can practice using descriptive language to describe the appearance, taste, and smell of different foods.
• Storytelling: Students can create stories about their Thanksgiving experiences, incorporating the food items they have chosen.

Fine Motor Skills:

• Cutting: The arts and crafts approach provides opportunities for students to practice cutting skills.
• Gluing: Students can develop their fine motor skills by gluing the food items to the plate.
• Manipulating Objects: In the dramatic play area, students can practice manipulating the laminated food items and utensils.

By participating in this activity, students can develop a deeper understanding of Thanksgiving traditions, enhance their creativity, and strengthen various cognitive, social-emotional, and language skills.

These creative Art name tags were designed to be printed, cut apart, and attached to your student’s amazing artworks. These name tags have a line designated for the student’s name, type of artwork it is, and grade level of the student. Using these name tags makes it easy for handing back artworks to students after the art is displayed in an art gallery, art museum, and/or art show. As an elementary art teacher, I enjoy different color name tags for different grade levels, so I have created 6 unique color palettes per grades K-5th grade. I hope this helps! Enjoy.
