✨ Hello From My Desk
Hello! I know this week is probably a busy one for you, too. I’m sending a little sunshine your way—warm wishes even if you’re not quite feeling the sunshine today. Please know that you are appreciated, and the work you do with children truly matters. ❤️
I wanted to share a few things I’ve been working on lately, along with some ideas you might enjoy using in your classroom.
🎅 Triangle Santa Craft
Get ready for December bulletin boards with this fun Triangle Santa craft! It’s a simple way to explore shapes, fine-motor skills, and seasonal joy all at once.👉 https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Santa-Craftivity-Paper-Craft-and-Writing-Activities-1005501
It’s been in my store for a while, and you might have overlooked it—so here’s a little reminder!
🌈 Rainbow Friend Craft
This bright, cheerful craft is perfect for celebrating friendship, kindness, or simply adding a splash of color to your classroom.👉 https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Rainbow-Craft-and-Writing-Activity-Friendship-or-Spring-Craftivity-4439697
I also shared some rainbow-themed drawing ideas over on Instagram this week. You might invite your students to create an artwork featuring rainbows and other elements that bring them feelings of hope, love, happiness, or warmth. It’s a wonderful activity for this time of year.

☃️ Snowman & Robin Directed Drawing
A new project just landed in Fun Bundle 2—a Snowman and Robin drawing activity inspired by sketches from my Creative Planner 2023! It feels so good to revisit ideas from those grid pages.👉 https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Snowman-Robin-Directed-Drawing-Writing-Pack-Winter-Art-Project-14891225
There are lots of circles in this one—perfect for winter themes, fine-motor practice, and sparking story-writing ideas.
💛 Start a Creative Daily Habit
If you’d like to start a simple daily drawing, doodling, or creative journaling practice, I just posted a guided challenge: Arcs and Hearts. It’s quick, easy, and a lovely way to find a mindful or creative moment in your day.👉 https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Arcs-and-Hearts-Creative-Planner-Challenge-Mindful-Drawing-Coloring-Page-14884989
