Kindergarten Art Center Bundle, Seasonal Art Projects & Lessons, Classroom Setup

Looking for art center projects and activities for your preschool, kindergarten, first grade or homeschool classroom? These 36 art ideas and mini lessons will take you through fall, winter, and spring (12 art ideas for each season) and are all tried and true art projects that I've used in my own classroom with young children.

✅How Does The Art Center Work?

Each art project begins with a mini lessons that provides support and extension ideas for the art experience. Following the lesson, kids take turns visiting the art center where they will:

• apply different art elements (line, shape, colors, etc.)
• try out techniques (collage, paint, sketching, etc.)
• experiment with materials (paint, paper, dough, etc.)

Embedded within each project and mini lessons are also many opportunities to make connections between art and early childhood math, ELA, science, and social studies content.

✅What's Inside This Art Center Resource?

You'll find 36 art projects, 12 for each season, making it easy for you to offer weekly or monthly challenges in your classroom art center.

Each project comes with a two-sided, tented task card – just print and fold for easy use and storage.

On each project card, you’ll find:

• step-by-step directions

• project photos

• materials list

• mini-lesson ideas

• an open-ended, extension art prompt

• “You Might Try” extension ideas
