Cinco de Mayo is a great time of the year for some of my fun, easy art integration lessons. See my Cinco de Mayo coloring sheets “in action” with this fun time-lapse video I made. You will see the entire coloring in 14 seconds!
Of course they don’t get colored quite that fast in class…but still the kids will have a blast! In my Cinco de Mayo coloring sheets I have included 5 interactive designs AND 5 pattern filled designs.
Take a closer look. The design on the left is interactive and the kids get to decide on the patterns that will be put into the image. The design on the right already has the patterns included and is ideal for younger children or in a classroom where the teacher needs to discreetly differentiate for a few students. With both designs, the kids have to really think through the colors and overall composition of the artwork! Older kids always like to use these as a starting place to plan for a painting or other larger artwork.
You can see my Interactive Coloring Sheets for Cinco de Mayo HERE I also have an entire collection of these sheets for all major holidays and events bundled together to create a large savings for teachers. You can see that coloring book HERE, there are over 80 pages in the large bundle.
No matter your medium of choice; crayons, markers or colored pencils I think you’ll see that kids really like having a fresh take on coloring sheets where they can create something that is uniquely their own and not just like everyone else’s when it’s finished!
If you are having a Fiesta for Cinco de Mayo you might enjoy decorating with my collaborative group poster. This project is so much fun because each student gets to color one part of the overall poster. Don’t tell them what it’s going to be and you’ll watch in amazement as they see it all come together!
There are 16 pieces to the poster and each piece fits on a normal 8.5″ x 11″ piece of paper!
Check out this poster Cinco de Mayo Group Poster HERE and see how much fun your students will enjoy this!
Also you may enjoy some of my other FREE collaboration posters for later in MAY!
Thank you for making art with your kids…I hope the end of your year is enjoyable!
