Try a Drawing Drawer

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Integrating art into your classroom every day just got easier. This fantastic idea provides 43 strips intended to keep early finishers busy and to bring art into the classroom. You cut the strips, put them in a drawer, and have early finishers choose one at random. They use their imagination, artistic ability, and creative-thinking skills to complete the task on each strip. Note: These ideas are imaginative and could even be used as writing prompts.
