1st Grade Art Projects

Our 1st Grade Art Projects collection supports children around ages 6–7 as they experiment with color, line, and storytelling through art. Homeschoolers, afterschooling families, and caregivers will find vetted, secular projects that develop fine-motor control and observation skills while leaving lots of room for play. Activities use simple supplies like crayons, watercolor, markers, and collage materials, with clear steps that don’t overscript creativity. Use the filters to sort by medium (drawing, painting, collage), theme (nature, feelings, favorite stories), time commitment, and learner needs such as ADHD, autism, dysgraphia, or 2e, including low-mess and sensory-friendly options. Many families use these projects alongside picture books or early science and social studies topics. If you’re unsure which first grade art projects fit your child’s stamina and interests, Modulo’s AI learning concierge can suggest a curated set.
