ClassX Video Lessons Grade Grade 1 Make A Thank You Card | Arts & Crafts for Kids | Circle Time with Khan Academy Kids
Hello friends! Welcome to “Circle Time.” I’m Caroline, and today I’m here with my friend Sophie. Hi Sophie!
Today, we have a fun and creative activity planned. Our friend Kim is going to show us how to make a special card. This card can be for anyone special in your life, like your parents, teachers, or friends. You can thank them for something they’ve done for you.
Hi Kim, thanks for joining us!
Kim is here to help us draw thank you cards. Is there someone you’re thankful for? Great! You can make a card for them. Since Mother’s Day is coming up, Kim is making a card for her mom. But you can make yours for anyone you like.
If you want to follow along, you can print the template using the link below. You’ll also need some colors, crayons, or markers. Kim has already colored the letters using her favorite colors and shapes. Now, let’s fill the empty space with a drawing.
First, Kim draws a yellow circle. Can you guess what it is? Next, she adds a green line down to the ground. Any guesses? Finally, she adds half-circle shapes around the yellow shape. Yes, it’s a flower! Flowers are a great way to say thank you.
Kim adds red to the petals and little half circles inside them. Don’t forget the leaves! Leaves have lines down the middle, so Kim draws those too. She uses light green on one side and dark green on the other.
Since it’s a Mother’s Day card, Kim adds a tiny flower next to the big one. It’s called a forget-me-not. She repeats the same steps to draw it. Finally, she adds some clouds and a little yellow heart to the card.
There’s a space to add your name, so everyone knows who the card is from. Kim even draws some smiley faces in the flowers. Now, you have a card that says a big thank you!
Today, we also have a special show and tell. Some friends from Somaliland shared their coloring pages with us. Ahmed, Mohammed, and Hassan sent us their colorful drawings. They used bright colors and creative patterns. It’s amazing to see their work!
If you’d like to share your drawings or videos with us, we’d love to see them too!
Thank you for joining us today. We hope you have a fun and creative day. Maybe you can make a card or draw some characters to share with us. Goodbye for now from Caroline, Sophie, and the Khan Academy Kids team!
Nature Walk and Observation: Take a walk outside with an adult and look for different flowers and plants. Can you find a flower that looks like the one Kim drew? Try to notice the colors, shapes, and sizes of the flowers you see. Draw your favorite flower when you get back home and add it to your thank you card collection.
Color Mixing Experiment: Gather some paints or colored water. Mix different colors together to see what new colors you can create. Try to make the colors Kim used in her card, like the light and dark greens for the leaves. Use your new colors to paint a picture or decorate another thank you card.
Thank You Card Exchange: Organize a card exchange with your friends or family. Make a thank you card for someone special and give it to them. Ask them to make a card for someone else, and see how many cards you can create and share. Talk about how it feels to give and receive thank you cards.
