  • Project
  • Join to access all included materials

What do your students see when they look outside the window? This project lets their imagination go wild, and lets you see what kind of daydreaming they do best. They each draw, paint, and color an image of what they imagine as they are looking out the window. It could be something real or something they imagine as they daydream. Have older kids write a story to accompany their work of art.
