A brand-new directed drawing activity has just been added to Fun Bundle 3 and it's sure to be a classroom favourite!
Children will love learning how to draw a happy, funny little school crayon and then bringing it to life with their own creative choices. The guided drawing steps provide a simple starting point, while encouraging students to personalise their crayon with unique expressions, colours, accessories, and features.

Teaching Tip
Before students begin colouring, encourage them to decide on their crayon's personality. Is it shy, excited, nervous, brave, silly, or full of confidence? Thinking about character traits first often leads to more expressive artwork and richer writing ideas afterwards.
Follow-Up Sharing Idea
Once the drawings are complete, invite students to introduce their crayon to the class. They can:
- Give their crayon a name.
- Describe how it feels about starting school.
- Share something exciting that happened during its first day.
- Explain why they chose its colours and expression.
This simple reflection and sharing activity helps students build confidence, practise speaking and listening skills, and sparks plenty of creative storytelling ideas for follow-up writing.
If you have Fun Bundle 3, we hope you and your students enjoy this fun new addition! 🎨
