Line game for kindergarten and 1st grade I wasn't sure how this game would work with my kiddos but it has been a great success. I used to create games like this when I was a classroom teacher for students' sight words and math facts, so why not for art?! You need the game board I created above, a dry erase marker, dice, baby wash cloth (to wipe the boards when the game is over) and a basket. I bought the dice and baby wash cloths at the Dollar Tree. I laminated the game board with my…

I'll be certain to share a tutorial on how we made those lil dudes but today I thought I'd share a video of me explaining just how to paint these spiral lines. I got A TON of questions on my IG on how my kiddos are successful with painting such clean and fine lines. Instead of telling you…

This project is relatively simple and takes learning about lines into the third dimension. I posted about this project back in 2013 and it was one of my most popular blog posts.

That Little Art Teacher: Pre-K & Kindergarten AHHHHH!

Hi! I shared earlier this week that all of my students, kindergarten through fourth would be doing line-making stations for 2, 30 minute art classes as an introduction for some and a review for most.

And it was so easy, I thought I'd show you how I did it in…
