Inside you’ll find fun July art projects for kids with step-by-step tutorials for holidays, summer food, insects, travel and more.

July Art Projects for Kids

July is such a fun month to plan art lessons around because the themes are already built in.

Between summer holidays, outdoor adventures, travel memories, favorite warm-weather foods, bugs, beaches, fireworks, camping, and sunny skies, there are so many easy ways to connect art to the season.

That’s what makes July art projects for kids such a great fit for elementary classrooms, summer camps, library programs, homeschool lessons, and creative afternoons at home. When students are already thinking about popsicles, flags, road trips, butterflies, and backyard adventures, it’s easy to turn those ideas into engaging art projects.

And the best part? You don’t have to start from scratch.

You can find a wealth of July-friendly art project ideas right here on my site. Just use the “Summer” tab on the home menu, and you’ll see lots of seasonal projects that are perfect for this time of year.

Each project includes a step-by-step tutorial, and most of them also include a video, so you can feel confident teaching the lesson even when your planning time is short.

If you are a fan of my drawing videos, and would love an easier way to pair short preview clips with the full tutorials, then you might enjoy my Curriculum Club.

Members get access to ad-free videos, step-by-step tutorials, and many new Google Slides too. Best of all, everything is organized by month, so it’s easy to find lessons that match the season and the planning is already done for you.

The Curriculum Club will be opening again next month, but if you get on the waitlist now, you’ll be sure not to miss it.
