OVER & UNDER WINTER HABITAT ART PROJECT
Over and Under the Snow is a book that uncovers the “secret kingdom under the snow.” Children are offered a glimpse of where animals go during the winter months and what their homes look like. The artwork is beautiful–ethereal, soft and filled with atmospheric perspective.
This was one of the prettiest winter art projects I have ever done. It’s a great project to integrate with science and literature and learn atmospheric perspective, mixing paint colors, texture and how to draw winter animals.

Oh my goodness! I bought this book in November and thought, “I need to tell Patty about this book, I can just see a project in the making!” and here you are, sharing such a lovely project with us. Thank you!
I am working on scaling this idea down for a 1st -2nd grade class. I’ll let you know if I am successful!
Thanks Patty!
So glad you thought of me. Isn’t the book divine? Yes, please let me know what you do with the little ones. Thanks, Gloria!
Oh Gloria, Thank you for sharing because I have just purchased this package Also, to use with the younger ones! What I think is most helpful is the templates for drawing the animals. Please do come back and share a link if you get a chance to share something about your experience with little ones & this project! Thank you!
Just wondering if anyone has ended up doing this with 1st or 2nd graders. I am thinking of trying with 1st graders and would love some tips. Thanks!
Hi Jenni,
I love this lesson for older students as it allows them to select their animals and draw from observation. But, this can be adapted for younger students by doing the following:
1. Do the background as per instructions. 1st and 2nd graders will do very well with this.
2. For the animals, either choose 1 animal to direct draw together OR use a coloring sheet and kids can color selected animals.
The full lesson plan has handouts and drawing guides. If you’re a member of The Sparklers Club you can access this in the Winter Bundle.
Where can I purchase the detailed plans for this lesson? Thanks.

My apologies. I just read the thread and sadly found my answer.
I love how this lesson allowed me to learn what the student understood about ecosystems and habitats. My students loved creating this piece and it reinforced their understanding.
What a beautiful art project! I love the different layers and colours. I would like to do something like this with my kindergarten students..
How do I get this lesson? I don’t see anywhere that it is available to click?
