There’s a new addition to the Fun Bundle 2 — and it’s bringing a little Halloween sparkle (and a few spikes) to your classroom! Meet the Spiky Sparkly Spooky Cactus — the perfect mix of cute and creepy-cool.
This directed drawing and writing project is designed for busy teachers who want an engaging, no-prep art + writing combo that builds fine motor skills and creativity. Students will love drawing their grumpy little cactus with sharp eyebrows, a fang, and a frown — and then writing about it using a fun Halloween-themed word bank.
💡 Classroom Tips & Ideas:
- Phonics Fun: Focus on the “sp” sound — spiky, sparkly, spooky, spider, spell!
- Play “I Spy”: Imagine a Halloween desert scene and have students describe something “spooky” that starts with sp for others to guess.
- Art Extension: Add sparkles with glitter or metallic pencils for that magical moonlight glow.
- Writing Prompt: “My spooky cactus came to life at midnight when…”
It’s the perfect way to blend art, literacy, and a little Halloween fun — without the scary stuff.
