Back to School Art Activity



Looking for a perfect back to school art activity that your students will love? I have a back to school art activity that I have been doing for a couple of years now. It has become a bit of a tradition for the first week of school for my students. This year I am teaching grade 4 again. I love this grade because the kids are excited to try new things, they love making art or getting messy and spending time outdoors. I love seeing them develop friendships and build confidence during the school year. The back to school art activity that I love to use is a back to school colouring sheet to welcome my students.


Back to School Art Activity

I plan on welcoming my new students by laying out a colouring page and a new pencil on their desk! 

Back to school colouring pages are a nice way to welcome new students into your classroom.

Having this back to school colouring pictures are great for down-time and time fillers during the first few weeks of school.

During the first month of school I usually spend a week, teaching about growth mindset and how it is okay to fail and make mistakes. I have colouring pages on growth mindset in all of my back to school colouring picture pass to help with this!

Each set of colouring pages includes grade specific colouring pages, growth mindset pages and a few for the last week of school.

What’s Included In The Back To School Colouring Pages

  • Grade specific colouring sheets for each grade (26 sheets for the first week of school)

  • 6 colouring sheets of growth mindset themed colouring sheets like “You can do this” and “I can do hard things!”

  • 3 bonus pages of last day and last week of school colouring pages to be used at the end of the school year!



This is a black and white printed PDF that can be photocopied again and again to be used each school year for each grade. You can use them over and over no matter what grade you are teaching!
