Ugly Christmas Sweater STEM Coloring Sheets Class Party Writing Template Craft

✨EVERYTHING you need - Ugly Sweater Project ✨ Design an Ugly Sweater PBL Project is the perfect Winter / Art & Literacy Project that also makes for an AWESOME Before Winter Break Class party! Choose the digital Design an Ugly Christmas Sweater Template, or the Printable Ugly Christmas Sweater Coloring Craft activity & create a Ugly Sweater Class Competition Bulletin Board. No matter the Ugly Sweater template you pick, the end result is as fun as it gets!

This project turned out SO fun, and there are really SO many variations or uses for it. In a nutshell, students design an Ugly sweater using either one of the digital templates through Google Slides or one of the printable templates.

The digital templates are pretty magical students can just design the sweater itself, add a Scandinavian style animal head, or take it a step further by adding a picture of THEMSELF. If that weren't enough, I've also included a step that allows you to add a GIF (moving picture, ie flashing Christmas Lights) on top of their sweater to give it the look of one of those over-the-top, battery-operated sweaters! The options for customizing their sweaters are literally limitless, giving them a huge range to stretch their creativity. You will be blown away by what your students come up with.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We did this as a holiday project to decorate our door and classroom window. Students were obsessed with making their sweaters. I took their pictures and assembled/laminated them with their sweaters. Before winter break they took home their little self! I will use this every year, it was so cute!

-4th Grade Teacher

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My students loved making these sweaters! It taught them many new computer skills and it was helpful that there were so many extension activities.

-5th Grade Teacher

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I used this as the week before Christmas break. My middle school students found it easy to follow the directions in the video and Create their own ugly sweater. I like that it was fun for them and kept them engaged while still teaching skills.

I've included a handful of printable templates to pick from. Have students use crayons, markers, and pencils to design their sweater, OR my favorite is to provide actual craft supplies like pom poms, felt, and sequins and let the students go to town with their tacky supplies and a little bit of glue! Whether you go digital and print off, or printable and create, they both make for an AWESOME classroom display!
