Thanksgiving Directed Drawing | Ten Five-Step Draw and Write Activities

Guide kindergarten and first-grade children through five drawing steps, then give them space to color, add details, and write about their picture. Dashed strokes show what to draw next. Use the large guides for whole-group modeling or the compact guides for drawing and writing centers.

This 36-page US Letter PDF includes ten pictures in three formats each: a full-page step-by-step guide, a Draw It page with a large open drawing space, and a Draw and Write page with primary handwriting lines. The pack also includes a student book cover, teacher directions with a subject index, and three reusable drawing and writing pages.

Draw a cornucopia, the Mayflower, an ear of corn, a whole pie, a harvest basket, a wide-brim hat, a pumpkin, a slice of pumpkin pie, a roast turkey, or a turkey. Use one lesson on its own or collect the student pages in a Thanksgiving drawing book.

Print at actual size and provide pencils and coloring supplies. Model the first steps aloud, then let students add their own details. For the writing version, invite children to say a sentence about the picture before writing it.
