Today, we’re going to have lots of fun drawing a Christmas stocking! This is a special activity that helps us learn to draw using simple shapes. Are you ready to be a little artist?
Before we start, let’s gather our art supplies:
Let’s start by drawing a square in the middle of your paper. Here’s how:

Now, let’s make our stocking colorful:
Yay! You’ve drawn a Christmas stocking! This activity helps you practice drawing and gets you excited for the holidays. Remember, you can always add more to your drawing to make it special. Have fun and keep drawing!
Let’s go on a shape hunt around the classroom! Look for objects that are shaped like squares and “U” shapes, just like the ones we used to draw our Christmas stocking. Can you find them all?
Let’s play a color matching game! Find objects in the classroom that match the colors of your Christmas stocking: red and green. How many can you find?
Let’s gather around for a story about Christmas stockings. After the story, draw a picture of your favorite part and share it with the class. What did you like most about the story?
Now it’s time to decorate a big paper stocking! Use stickers, glitter, and other craft supplies to make it special. What decorations will you add to your stocking?
Let’s sing a fun song about Christmas stockings! We’ll use our hands to make the shapes of the stocking as we sing. Can you make the shapes with your hands?
