Donut Drawing

Donut drawing is a fun end of the year activity to add to your classroom. Drawing a donut can be used in a media art lesson, lesson on pop art, product design, art lesson or more. You can use my donut drawing templates to get students to draw and design donuts if they finish their work early or to decorate a donut that is themed around the holidays.


Donut drawing is a fun activity for middle school students! I don’t know about you but my students sure do have a sweet tooth! 

Donut Drawing

Here are some ways to use it in your classroom:

  • If students finish their work early

  • To design their own flavour and then write a paragraph about it

  • To design their own flavour and create an advertisement like a poster or commercial

  • To design their own donut themed around a prompt like the holidays or animals

  • To draw a donut with different materials like watercolour or pastels 

  • To draw a donut after interviewing a local bakery

  • To draw a donut after learning about the artist Andy Warhol and the pop art style

  • To draw a donut to celebrate a birthday in the classroom


And so much more! 

You can check out my donut drawing templates here! 



Another great end of the year activity is Drawing a Popsicle. Drawing a Popsicle includes templates to be used in the same way as Donut Drawing.

Students can decorate their own popsicles and then have a nice popsicle treat outside to celebrate the end of the school year!

Donut Drawing and Popsicle Drawing is a great end of year activity for middle school.

Symmetry in Art


Symmetry in art is a great way to teach realistic drawing skills and math to your students. Or provide extra drawing practice to your kids. Symmetry drawing is fun and easy to do with symmetry drawing worksheets. Symmetry art can help refine art and drawing skills by completing a symmetry line drawing. 


Symmetry in art is everywhere and is a part of nature. Trees, flowers, insects and so much more are symmetrical. Kids can learn about botany and anatomy while drawing the other half of a symmetry in art worksheet. 


All you need is printed or photocopied page of my symmetry worksheets, a pencil and eraser. It’s that easy!


Kids love grabbing a worksheet when they finish their work early. Completing these handouts have helped them to improve their drawing skills and it provides them with a nice quiet and calm activity to do. They are very popular at the end of day or to help students settle after recess!

Benefits of Symmetry Drawing in Art

  • improve drawing skills

  • improve fine motor skills

  • students can learn patience and practice their sketching skills

  • rainy day/down time activity

  • can teach math through symmetry

  • students can learn about botany and insects through different themed symmetry sheets!

  • easy math, art or sub lesson plans

Who are symmetry drawing worksheets for?

I recommend using these worksheets with students in grades 4-8. I also have portrait symmetry drawing worksheets for high school.


In a free version of my best-selling insect symmetry worksheets you can download a sample of the product to test it out before you purchase. The insect symmetry handouts are great to incorporate in an insect unit, earth day activity, spring activity, early finisher activity, art or math lesson.


You can download the FREE Insect symmetry worksheets here! 


I have also made an 88 page insect symmetry line drawing package that includes 44 different insects that are on gridlines and some without gridlines. The gridlines make it easier for students to draw because they can count the squares as they draw to make sure their side matches up. These gridline sheets incorporate math and measuring nicely! The pages without the gridlines are a bit more challenging.

To learn about botany I have made an 88 page symmetry trees/leaves drawing pages and an 88 page flower/plants drawing pages.

What is Teachers Pay Teachers?


What is Teachers Pay Teachers? TPT stands for Teachers Pay Teachers. It is an online marketplace where teachers and parents can purchase and download free products to help support student education. Resources in all subjects and grade levels can be found and they range in prices from free to $200 with most products being under $5. Find out more about what Teachers Pay Teachers is in this post!



At first, I felt guilty purchasing products on TPT to be used in my classroom. I tried talking myself out of buying a $4 presentation, worksheet and slideshow on a topic I knew nothing about.

When I though about it I ended up saving at least 6 hours to research the topic on early humans, make the slideshow, the worksheet, edit and format everything. The $4 was well spent and I feel a lot less guilt now spending a few dollars to pay for something that is going to make my job as teacher easier!

In my first year of teaching, I was teaching a lot of subjects and grade levels that I was unfamiliar with. Planning units became very time consuming because I was having to research and plan the content before teaching it.  TPT helps build up your bank of lessons, activities and ideas.



TPT is the first place I check before I begin planning because often I can find what I am looking for - for FREE!  Usually, I can’t make something as nice and as pretty either. 

TPT offers a variety of sales throughout the year. It’s a great idea to join their mailing list to get notified when there are upcoming sales. Their sales are often 20% off which means you can save even more on products that are already inexpensive! 


Something that I recently learned about TPT blew my mind! If you leave a review on a purchase you made (not a free download) you can actually earn credits to be applied on future purchases!  It’s a win-win - you help the seller build a trusted reputation and you give yourself a credit to use towards your next purchase! 


In my TPT shop, I am focusing on art resources because that is my speciality! I have products for middle school and high school art! 

Still curious about what TPT is? Visit my shop here and follow me so you can see new resources that I put out!
