Simple Shape Bird | Kindergarten Art Sub Plans

Simple Shape Bird Lesson

Art Teacher in LA posts an easy kindergarten lesson that a sub could teach. Check it out here:  Simple Shape Birds.


It reminds me a little of this post:  Kindergarten Shape Drawing where a pear shape is used to draw different animals.

TPT Directed Drawings for Kindergarten


If you need a lesson that is fully formed and ready to teach, here’s one I have in my TPT shop: Art Sub Lessons.  Springtime Bird with Flowers

It is a directed drawing of a bird with flowers that would be perfect for kindergarten and first grade. 

Here is another one that uses simple shapes to help little ones draw birds in a tree and flowers. Bird in a Tree with Flowers

It shows how to draw a robot, step-by-step, and then leaves the details up to the students. Kids will love it and so will subs and teachers.
