Your new favorite Hispanic Heritage Month art lesson is AVAILABLE NOW! 🇲🇽🍭🎨

What an amazing two weeks it has been creating these Paleta Payaso artworks with my 2nd graders! 🥹✨ Watching my little artists explore texture, expression, Mexican culture, and contemporary art through this project has been so special.

Creating this lesson and turning it into a ready-to-teach resource for you all has definitely challenged me and helped me grow as an art educator. 🥹💗 This is absolutely a lesson I’ll be bringing back to my classroom every year!

PLEASE tell me this wasn’t just me 😂🇲🇽🍭

Opening a Paleta Payaso was always a surprise 😂 Would the chocolate be cracked? Would the eyes be crooked? Who knew?!
But eating those gummy eyes was ALWAYS my favorite part. 😍😂

Our Sweets Around the World art adventure begins in México! 🇲🇽🍭🌎

I’m prepping this Paleta Payaso-inspired art lesson for my 2nd grade artists, and I’m already SO excited to see their creations! 🥹🎨

I believe food and sweets have such a special way of bringing people together. Through this series, I hope to use art to spark curiosity and encourage my students to learn about different cultures, countries, traditions, and histories around the world. 🌎✨

So, of course, our first stop had to be México! 🇲🇽 And what sweeter way to begin than with an iconic Mexican treat — Paleta Payaso! 🍭

This is just the beginning of our Sweets Around the World art adventure… 👀✈️🎨

Where should our sweet art adventure travel next? 🌎👇🏼

5 years of teaching art and I’m finally figuring out the little systems that make my art room run smoother 😂🎨

I’m a VERY visual person, so having our projects, grade levels and objectives right in front of me helps me see what’s happening now and what I need to prep next.

I made some of my little art-room printables available FREE for other art teachers! 🥹🫶🏼

Comment “ORGANIZE” and I’ll send you the free download! 🎨

P.S. I’m working on putting my entire art-room organization system together too. 👀✨

I think this was the moment it finally started feeling like my art room. 🥹🎨

After weeks of organizing, cleaning, planning, moving things around (and changing my mind approximately 472 times 😂), I saved one of the things I was most excited about for last.

Seeing Artful Little Minds on my classroom wall felt a little surreal. 🥹

Here’s to a new school year, a new art room, and LOTS of little minds making art. 🎨✨

Which art teacher are you? 😂

Art teachers during back-to-school week: “I’ll keep it simple this year.”

Also art teachers: makes an entire set of giant crayons from scratch 😂🖍️

But tell me the crayons wasn’t worth it?! 🥹🌈

I wanted my bulletin board to remind my little artists that there are so many ways to wonder, create, explore, connect, express & share in the art room!

And because I already spent way too much time making the COLOR YOUR WORLD letters in Canva…you might as well have them too. 😂🫶🏼

One tiny tool has made such a difference during my teacher prep. ✨

I’ve been using my makeid label maker to organize my paints, paper, drawers, tools, and classroom supplies and now everything finally has a home! 🌈

Because when you only have five minutes between classes, knowing exactly where everything is matters. 😂

Art teachers, what is the one area of your classroom that always needs organizing?

Today was a moment I’ll never forget 💛

Our Art Club was featured on the news , sharing how our students are using art to raise awareness about ocean conservation 🌊🎨

Even more exciting—our artwork will be featured at next week!

From collecting plastic bags to transforming them into woven works of art, my students are learning that their creativity can make a real impact on the world.

I’m so proud of them and the voices they are becoming. This is bigger than just creating—it’s storytelling, advocacy, and bringing attention to real-world issues that affect all of us.
