Soul Sparklettes

Recommended Ages

K–8 Grades

Soul Sparklettes is an online art education platform that provides step-by-step video lessons and printable plans for kids’ art projects, often with whimsical, colorful themes. Lessons introduce techniques in drawing, painting, and collage while encouraging creative choices rather than rigid copying. Parents and teachers value the upbeat instruction, inclusive community, and projects that are doable with common supplies. As a membership or standalone course provider, Soul Sparklettes is a strong option for families wanting more guided art time without designing every project themselves.

Wonderful for roughly K–7 students who love color, story‑based projects, and themed units (seasons, nature, literature), and for co‑ops or clubs where a parent wants clear, open‑and‑go art plans that work well with mixed ages.

Pros

Soul Sparklettes’ Glitterbombers membership and stand‑alone lessons offer kid‑tested, cross‑curricular art projects that are bright, whimsical, and truly accessible even to parents who don’t see themselves as “artsy,” and it’s frequently singled out as a favorite by secular homeschool families. 

Cons

Membership format means you’re paying for ongoing access, which can feel pricey if you only do occasional projects; families will still need to gather basic art supplies, and those looking for rigorous classical drawing instruction may find it lighter and more playful than they’d prefer.

Soul Sparklettes is sometimes approved as a vendor under art or enrichment with certain ESAs and charter schools, and the Glitterbombers membership appears as an eligible education provider in at least one ESA spending report; however, acceptance varies by state, so families should confirm eligibility with their specific program before purchasing. 

Free on YouTube. Individual units typically around $14.99 each

Soul Sparklettes Mission

Soul Sparklettes Art’s mission is to inspire and empower anyone who teaches art to kids, whether they see hundreds of students a day or just one at the kitchen table, with joyful, inclusive, cross-curricular projects that are rich in art concepts and bursting with kid appeal.

Soul Sparklettes Story

As a classroom teacher and mom, Julie Soul kept looking for art lessons that were both standards-based and genuinely exciting to kids, filled with dragons, galaxies, and big ideas rather than endless holiday crafts; when she could not find what she wanted, she began writing her own lessons, sharing them online, and eventually founded Soul Sparklettes Art and The Glitter Bomb curriculum, which has grown into memberships and resources that support art teachers and homeschool families with diverse, literature-linked projects.

About Modular Learning

FAQ: Additional Details about Soul Sparklettes

During a typical Soul Sparklettes lesson, kids spread out paper, paints, markers, and a bit of glitter while Julie’s video plays on a tablet or laptop nearby. She jokes with students, models each step up close, and invites them to make creative choices—changing colors, adding patterns, or inventing backstories for their creatures. You hear brushes swishing in rinse cups, the scratch of markers on cardstock, and little gasps when a watercolor wash blooms or a collage comes together, followed by a proud “art walk” where everyone holds up their finished piece to the camera or family.

Soul Sparklettes centers around the Glitterbombers membership, a library of PreK–12 art lessons, videos, and cross‑curricular projects that families and co‑ops can use as a full art curriculum or as weekly enrichment. Once you join, you get access to hundreds of step‑by‑step projects, seasonal units, and themed paths (like global art, USA, or elements & principles), plus live or recorded art camps and a supportive online community. Many homeschoolers pick one featured project per week and then sprinkle in extra lessons during holidays or unit studies. 

Parents can treat the videos as a “teach for you” art class while they supervise from the side, or jump in and create alongside their kids; younger learners may need help pausing the video, managing spills, or adapting steps to their motor skills.

No formal prerequisites; most lessons are designed for K–7 with options to scale up or down, though younger kids may need help with cutting or managing messy supplies.

Soul Sparklettes offers whimsical art projects with a strong emphasis on process and play, which can be very inviting for anxious, autistic, and ADHD kids. Step‑by‑step videos and adaptable materials let families dial complexity up or down depending on motor skills and tolerance for mess.

Soul Sparklettes offers kid-approved art lessons with clear, visual instructions, making it easier to support sensory needs by pacing projects, simplifying steps, or swapping out tricky materials.

Because most Soul Sparklettes products are digital classes or camps, many offerings specify that fees are non‑refundable once purchased or once an art camp begins, though membership subscriptions may include a short grace period for new sign‑ups; always check the refund section on the specific product page before buying. 

May not be ideal for families who prefer freeform, child‑led art without step‑by‑step guidance, or those seeking a very formal, technique‑heavy fine‑arts sequence.

Similar secular art options include Deep Space Sparkle, Home Art Studio, Art for Kids Hub, and local community art classes that provide project‑based instruction.

Soul Sparklettes regularly adds new themed projects, seasonal freebie packs, and cross‑curricular “LiterARTure” bundles that connect art with novels, science, and social‑emotional learning, as well as live or recorded art camps throughout the year. 

Print or bookmark a month of lessons at a time, set up a simple “sparkle cart” with the recurring supplies, and let kids pick from two or three project choices each week to keep buy‑in high.
