This is one the students from a 2nd grade class where I was a Substitute Teacher at CCSD here in Las Vegas, November 2025. These kids really enjoyed the process of picking an animal from my ABCs Alligators to Zebras Art Brain Break Activity Book, coloring it however they like, then turning it into an ornament. This is the W is for Wolf page from the ABCs book. Love it! Total time to create this was maybe 15 minute and he was so proud of his artwork he got to take home. This w

Kids really loved coloring my B for Bat illustrations in preparation for decorating their desks and their homes for Halloween this year in Las Vegas. I had a Kindergarten class assignment on a day where I was lucky enough to be a Substitute Teacher on dress in your Halloween costume day, along with a parade for about 500 Elementary school kids in their amazing costumes. It was amazing and the kids were so proud of their characters, most of them staying in character with their

This drawing page is from my Cat Lady Art Series and I found it really interesting that while on assignment as a Substitute Teacher for CCSD in Las Vegas, working with High School boys, they were really into this series. Not that they wouldn't be, I guess, I just thought maybe only people with cats would be interested. They love the whole series, particularly the Black Panther, Leopard, Caracal and Bobcats. Coloring is therapeutic at all ages! Search my website for "Cat Lady"

This is me cutting out the Baby Ducks from my Dopamine Art Series as a Digital Download you can pull down and print out as often as you like. I turn these guys into a puppet and used them the next day as a Substitute Teacher for a group of 3rd graders who gut stuck inside almost all day when it rained recently in Las Vegas! It turned out to be a lot of fun and the kids put on a puppet show! Search my site for "puppet shows" to see the yellow duck show up in various settings.

Wow, kids LOVE baby goats! I recommend if you have any Animal Farm fans at your house or school, get my Animal Farm Digital Download that includes about 14 animals you'll usually find on most farms. I have this one pictured to show you can easily turn them into ornaments, puppets, necklaces (yep, kids turn them into jewelry). I do advise you color them in before cutting and taping and or paste because the color may look different if you do it over tape or paste after you've

My animal and insect illustrations come on a white background or on a black background. As I've been putting my Digital Download ABCs Art Brain Breaks Books together I've made a bunch of copies to work on layout and things and to see what they look like printed out. During this process, of course, I ran out of toner like three times. I do like my laser printer and it's great, although you can see in these cut outs the black was on its last legs. Rather than throwing away any

Here's the thing, you can play with these ABCs animal and insect cut outs and make all sort of little fun projects. I recently decided to sit in bed ALL DAY, with fuzzy socks, coffee, one of those bed working lap tables with a stack of my ABCs Art Brain Breaks. I put on my Likes playlist, set up the phone to record some of it just in case it looked fun, but really, I was so tired and just wanted a day where I wasn't accomplishing anything and not just binging Netflix. It was

This Swallowtail Butterfly is part of my ABCs Art Brain Breaks Activity Book which is a Digital Download and available for immediate access for you to pull down, print out, and get to making fun little art projects. This is the B is for Butterfly page in the 26- animal and insect book that includes print out you can use to color then hole punch, string up, and turn your art into an ornament or all sort of other fun little projects. This is the beginning of one of the butterfl

These kids are 2nd graders at a school in Henderson, NV who decided to move their butterfly coloring project off the page and into the air. They built bridge strips to tape between the wings so the butterflies could sit on their desks as pets during class. More of them joined in and started creating their own versions of flowers the butterflies could use for food as they flew around the room, and others started building plant stalks and larger gathering areas where all the bu

One of the students in this 2nd grade class asked if they could have an extra 5 minutes to cut out their butterflies so they could make them fly like paper airplanes. Once she did she realized the paper wings weren't strong enough or aerodynamic and so butterflies wouldn't fly like planes. She decided she need to put a bridge of paper between it's wings so they would stay up and it could sit with its wings up and would be better suited sitting still, eating nectar from a flow
