End of Year Skittles Writing Activity and Craft for Big Kids

Now available for grades 2-12! Celebrate the end of the school year with this fun writing activity! Students use rainbow-colored items or candies such as Skittles, buttons, or pom poms to help brainstorm things to share about themselves. This craft makes a great keepsake for any grade level.

The brainstorming sheet will help them plan out which things to share in their final draft. The finished product also makes a neat bulletin board or classroom display for the beginning of the school year.
