Fall Banner Drawing Guides

When students work together to create a fall banner, they learn a couple of things along the way. First, how impressive their drawings can look on a much larger scale. And second, how quickly a big project can come together when everyone pitches in.

I love that these banners don’t require any fancy art supplies, either. Just some paper, crayons, and a little teamwork can turn a classroom, school event, or even your home into a colorful display of hand-drawn art.

And don’t underestimate the humble crayon! With a little patience and some good old-fashioned elbow grease, students can create bold, beautiful decorations without spending much time or money.
