Preschool and Kindergarten Art Sub Plans

Here is a sweet idea for preschool and kindergarten that I had not seen before. The lesson she created is for preschool. Here's a look at what they did.

She bases the lesson on Go, Dog, Go to have students create a dog party. The idea came from Collage Mama's Itty Bitty Blog: A Big Dog Party.

Take a look at the illustration from the book.

The original lesson has students using paint. Paint wouldn't be a medium you should leave for a sub unless you know the capabilities of the sub, but crayons will work nicely. Students will love hearing the storybook read to them. Likely, it will be a favorite. So, let your sub read that book to your students and then have the students draw their own dog party.

Read "Collage Mama's" blog post for more ideas on this lesson.

Kindergarten and First Grade Art Sub Lesson

One good place to check when you need art sub lessons is KinderArt .

Here's an elementary art lesson that they recommend for ages 5 - 8. They include a short write up of a lesson with a sample art work. Your sub would probably appreciate some supplemental material such as picture books that go with the theme. It is a sweet little lesson you can leave for your sub if you have time to add a few more visuals and maybe a book to go along with it.

Here's one of mine that has a similar theme, but there 17 pages with visuals; a script for the sub to follow; and instructions.

Here are a couple of comments from teachers who have used this lesson:

"As a regular classroom teacher tasked with teaching art I love your lessons - makes me more confident that I am sharing some art insight."

" Great lesson for subs - easy, engaging, and very relevant in the art room! My sub loved it, and the kids did too. They all wanted to finish their images the next week."
