Do you need a Christmas alternative for your therapy sessions or classroom? Do you need a quick low prep craft? How about ugly holiday sweaters? Get your colleagues and students in on the dress-up fun, and find a few resources to meet the academic or IEP needs of your students. I have printable and digital Boom Card™ ugly sweater resources in my store. You will also find a free download in my Free Resource Library. Check out all my differentiated, worksheets & activities which incorporate math, literacy, writing, handwriting, fine motor, social-emotional learning, and visual perceptual skills. These ugly sweater activities are great for writing centers, math stations, early finishers, occupational therapy sessions, emergency sub plans, and more.

My students love making these ugly paper sweaters year after year. I put out all kinds of sequins, stickers, pom poms, and leftover craft supplies from multiple projects. They love adding as many sparkly items as they can fit on their template. I print them on white and colored cardstock for added durability.

Happy Holidays.

But ask some students that same question and you may get:

“I don’t know.”

Sometimes we look at that blank paper and think the student is struggling with writing. But the actual difficulty may have started long before the pencil ever touched the paper.
