A little Holiday Cheer!

Here's a fun holiday project for the season! I've done this project with a few of my students and thought it'd make a good one to try at home! It involves drawing a elf made out of shapes. It works best with ages 5+. Enjoy!

 

Materials:

*Elf Drawing Sheet

*Practice Paper

*Pencil

*Bristol Paper

*Black Crayon

*Paint

*Brushes

 

Step One:

Practice drawing the elf using the Drawing Sheet. Explain that the face is made up entirely of shapes!

 

 

Step Two:

After practice drawing is finished it's time to re-draw on Bristol paper. Once finished, go over pencil lines with black crayon (or any color crayon). Creating a thicker line helps when painting!

Step Three:

Paint your Elf! Outline Elf in black paint with small brush to help bring back any features that might have gotten lost!

 

Step Four:

Decorate using scrap fabric and buttons! Create a hat, clothes, whatever!
