My students have always loved directed drawings. It’s a quiet and tranquil activity in the classroom. It gives them the confidence and skills to create other kinds of art. These can be used in a classroom, as an activity for early finishers, or at a station where writing and art are encouraged. So that you and your students can use them, I have included different writing and drawing options.
Each month has 2 drawings, but you can switch them around to use at any time. These are the drawings, as well as the titles of the writing pages that correspond.

Major heart eye emoji! My students LOVE doing directed drawings. They’re great for fun days or before holidays. Your prompts are awesome! I can’t wait for these to be used!
We did a guided drawing of the scarecrow. Next, we will work on the writing piece for it. It was so much fun and easy to follow as a class. These drawings are amazing and I cannot wait to make more.
