Drawing of a Tree in Spring
Kindergarten, first, and second grade kids will have fun learning how to draw a bee, butterfly, Easter Bunny, and other Spring drawing ideas.
Simple Spring Drawing Ideas You Can Use at Home or in the Classroom
Are you hanging in there through the winter? Are you ready for Spring as much as I am? Soon the days start getting longer, and the snow will melt, and Spring will be upon us. Spring is always an exciting time, as the earth comes back to life after a few bleak months.
But in the classroom, Spring can also be a whirlwind of activity. There is a curriculum to cover, tests to administer, paperwork to do, projects to complete, etc. We can get caught up in the to-do lists and forget to enjoy the season.
Bring in a bit of fun, but keep it educational with Spring drawing ideas.
Spring directed drawings are teacher-led, in which students follow a step-by-step process to create a specific picture. There are benefits to using directed drawings, including building confidence, working on following directions, and just being fun!
