Let’s be honest — December in the classroom is a whirlwind. The countdown to winter break has begun, kids are buzzing with energy, and somehow you’re supposed to pull off creative, magical, Pinterest-worthy art lessons on top of everything else.

I’ve been there — sitting at my art table late at night, flipping through old sketchbooks, trying to come up with something new that didn’t involve glitter explosions or last-minute prep marathons.

That’s exactly why I made the December Art Inspiration Guide: 12 Days of Christmas Edition — to take that stress off your shoulders and bring the joy back into December art planning.

🎨 Why December Art Matters

December is special. It’s the season of reflection, celebration, and creativity — and art has a magical way of helping kids process all of that.

Whether you’re making winter scenes, kindness projects, or festive art inspired by the holidays, this is a chance to help your students express joy and gratitude through art.

But I also know how exhausting it can be when your creative energy is running low. That’s why this guide includes ready-to-go inspiration and structure — so you can focus on the fun parts of teaching again.
