Description
Need no prep, Spring art projects for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders? Imagine these butterflies in your hallway with a writing prompt. The step by step drawing tutorial and PowerPoint also makes perfect emergency art sub plans for elementary art and general ed teachers.
A fun roll a dice game, ‘you pick’ worksheet, and digital spinners helps kids choose patterns. Moreover, boost their confidence and creativity.
And, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you craft Spring art activities using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers! This butterfly art lesson includes a simple butterfly template for easy drawing.
Can I tell you a secret? It’s hard to get kids writing in ELA. When they’re not invested in it, they can’t connect with what they’re writing about. Mic drop!
Incorporating creative projects for the first day of spring like this cute butterfly painting activity helps. Finally keep all kids engaged!
