Using Stencils for Art Sub Activities

Kids ought to love having a sub if they get to use stencils.  Stencils are something I so rarely let students use except as an activity for early finishers.  They love them though. Why not let them experiment with them a bit. I believe the engagement will be high, and your sub will certainly appreciate kids being engaged.

This lesson can be found at Draw, Doodle, and Decorate.  It uses simple materials: paper, crayon, or markers. You can create your own templates out of poster board or collect painting or tracing stencils. You can also use jar lids or interesting shaped flattish objects.
