Description
My build a hot chocolate craft and writing prompts are the perfect, no prep winter activity for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade. 3 templates ensure that every hot cocoa activity on your January bulletin board is unique! Post your hot chocolate crafts and prompts in the hallway to make an engaging winter display.
If you’re racing to figure out what cute project to quickly put up in the hallway for winter, look no further. Students can complete the craft in one class period. And you can use the accompanying writing prompts to post alongside your hot cocoa projects.
Basically, each child receives a copy of the cocoa mug template. Then, they color everything, cut out the parts, and glue it together. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
This hot chocolate craftivity also comes with a PowerPoint with step-by-step pictures and simply written directions for young children. Use it for either whole group or small group instruction. Or, assign it to students via Google Classroom, Canvas, etc. so they can work independently.
Are you going to be absent and your substitute won’t have access to technology? No problem! Use the 1-page all-in-one step-by-step picture directions. Just print it out and include it with your sub plans. And then do nothing. Yes, nothing, because I’ve done it all for you!
