A Time-Saving Favourite for Teachers of Grades 1–12

Whether you're an art teacher looking for a quiet, skill-building activity, or a classroom teacher searching for a way to connect art with your math curriculum, this resource is ready when you are.
Each sheet gives students half of a drawing—like a butterfly, animal, food, or face—and challenges them to reflect and draw the missing symmetrical side. It sounds simple, but it’s incredibly effective for building:
Observation skills

Drawing details, shading, and creating more realistic drawings

Cross-Curricular and Developmentally Flexible
This bundle supports both visual art and math outcomes. It’s especially helpful when teaching symmetry concepts in math (line of symmetry, reflection) or when introducing portraiture, balance, and design elements in art. Because the drawings vary in complexity, you can easily differentiate for primary, junior, and intermediate students. Or differentiate to support different student’s drawing abilities, so that everyone is appropriately challenged.
You’ll also love how the clean, black-and-white format keeps the focus on the skill—not the fluff. There are no prep instructions and the PDF format means you can print only what you need.
