Are you looking for fun and engaging ways to kick off the school year? These August Crafts for First Graders have you covered!
August Writing Craft Kit
Make back to school easy with our August Writing Craft Kit! Crafting is the perfect way to ease into the new year, assess students fine motor skills and kickstart writing. The August Craft Kit comes with 5 different Back to School theme crafts and 10 different writing prompts. It even includes blank writing pages for you to create your own prompts and quick print craft pieces! It has everything you need to get started. These kits are perfect for first week of school lessons and launching memory books.
First Day of School Feelings
One of our favorites is this first day of school feelings pencil craft. Launch this lesson by reading one of your favorite first day of school books and talk about how everyone feels on the first day. Afterwards, students color/paint a pencil and put their first day of school feelings face on it. Once folded it creates a fun hide and seek feelings pencil. Students love it every year!
Get to Know Each Other
Another great way to include crafts in the first week of school is to get to know each other. This crayon box craft is a great way to get students talking to you, to each other and sharing a bit about themselves.
I hope these gave you some ideas for August Crafts for First Graders. The first week of school is a great time to use crafts to help get students into a routine, introduce supplies, see what students can do, and foster creativity!
