Description
Need a no prep, Cinco de Mayo sombrero art project for your May bulletin board? Imagine these Mexican sombreros in your hallway with a writing prompt. The step by step drawing tutorial and PowerPoint also makes perfect emergency art sub plans for elementary art and general ed teachers.
A fun roll a dice game, ‘you pick’ worksheet, and digital spinners helps kids choose patterns for their sombrero. Moreover, boost their confidence and creativity.
And, it’ll help cash-strapped teachers like you craft sombrero art projects using only markers. Yes, you can watercolor paint with markers! This Cinco de Mayo art activity includes a sombrero hat template for easy drawing.
Can I tell you a secret? It’s hard to get kids writing in ELA. When they’re not invested in it, they can’t connect with what they’re writing about. Mic drop!
Incorporating creative Cinco de Mayo arts and crafts like this fun sombrero hat project helps. Finally keep all kids engaged!

WHY YOU’LL LOVE IT
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I used this with my sixth graders after a quick lesson and they absolutely loved them! When I started hanging them up, students who hadn't turned them in, all of a sudden were scrambling to finish because they wanted to show theirs off too!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My students always love these, they are a fun and engaging way to get students to create patterns as well as write and be creative.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Great activity. My children that don't usually chose to draw loved this activity. We cut them out and glued them to headbands.
