I have two words for you today: Christmas Extravaganza.
Sounds fun right? It is! It is a Christmas art course that is super easy to follow and calming.
And we need some calm around here because oh my word homeschooling through the holidays can be tricky.
The energy is high.
The desire to do any formal homeschooling is low.
(I count myself in there, too. I’m ready to focus more on hygge and less on curriculum and planning.)
That said, I do like to maintain a rhythm. Our holiday homeschooling includes more books, games, music, and art.
And I typically save the art for late in the day. That time we mothers refer to as The Witching Hour.
Why?
Because art calms my kids down. And it calms me down, too.
Today, I’m sharing an art course that we recently enjoyed. Just in case you need a holiday homeschooling plan, too!
This Awesome Christmas Extravaganza Christmas Art Course Will Delight Little Artists
*Disclosure: I received access to this course at no cost. I was not required to write a review, but I love to share fun resources. We return to these courses time and time again. As always, all thoughts and opinions are my own.
First, before we get started, I wanted to let you know about the You Are An Artist Clubhouse!

And now back to the Christmas Extravaganza course…
Christmas Extravaganza: A Christmas Art Course Using Chalk Pastels
When I heard that ChalkPastel.com was adding Christmas video courses, I had to check them out.
In the past, we have enjoyed the Chalk Pastel video courses and ebooks. They have created chalk pastel sharks, space art, and even Olympics-themed chalk pastel art!
The wonderful fun thing about chalk pastels is that you do not need any artistic ability. They are easy to use and non-intimidating.
My children loved the new Seashore Chalk Pastel Video Art Course from ChalkPastel.com, and so when I told them there was a Christmas Extravaganza course, they were over-the-moon excited!

You guys! Look at her eye- she had a chalk pastel shiner!
