Christmas is almost here!

This lesson is a great art project to get your kids in that fun Christmas spirit. They’ll need a Sharpie (or any black marker), colored pencils, and paper.

Follow along with us and learn how to draw a Christmas nutcracker. These directed drawing lessons are step by step. So, even if this looks challenging for your little artists, I bet you’ll be surprised at how much they can do!

Also, this lesson is great to encourage your artists to use their creativity. The first half of the lesson we draw the general shape of the nutcracker. The second half we add details, this is a good place to pause the video and let your artists add their own details.
