Glitter Backgrounds – 12 Sparkling Designs for Worksheets, Slides ...

Glitter Backgrounds – 12 Sparkling Designs for Worksheets, Slides, and Classroom Projects to Brighten Your Classroom Materials ✨ PNG + PDF + TIFF Over the years, I’ve found that even small visual changes can make a big difference when it comes to engaging students—especially with worksheets, bulletin boards, or presentations. That’s exactly why I created these glitter backgrounds. They add a little sparkle and visual interest without being too overwhelming or distracting. Sometimes it’s the background that helps set the mood for a lesson. In this set, you’ll find 12 glitter-style backgrounds, each in A4 format. I designed them using Procreate, and they’re available in three file types: PNG, PDF, and TIFF. That way, you can choose what works best for you—whether you're creating something for print or a digital format like Canva, PowerPoint, or Google Slides. What’s included: – 12 different glitter backgrounds (A4 size) – File formats: PNG (with transparency), PDF (ready to print), TIFF (high resolution) I’ve used these backgrounds in lots of different ways: as worksheet templates, as digital covers in GoodNotes, and even as backing pages for student booklets. Around the holidays, students love anything that sparkles—so I’ve used them for reflection prompts in December, festive games, or classroom posters. They’re also a nice way to elevate things like certificates, behavior charts, or project templates. The designs are colorful and textured, but still neutral enough to use across different subjects and age groups. A note on usage: You're welcome to use these backgrounds in your own classroom or in materials you create for your students. You can also use them in educational resources you plan to share or sell—just make sure your own content is clearly visible and that you credit my store or website when doing so. Wishing you lots of creative ideas and sparkly results! – Heike from @Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and welcoming learning environment. 🐶

Get ready for a gobble-worthy adventure with the A Turkey’s Adventure Writing Prompt! This Thanksgiving activity invites kids to step into the feathers of a turkey and imagine their most epic journey. Will they escape the dinner table, become a turkey superhero, or travel the world in search of the tastiest corn? The possibilities are as endless as a buffet line. First, kids will channel their inner turkey and write about their big adventure. Maybe they’re a daring turkey ninja, dodging cranberry sauce traps and escaping the clutches of Farmer Fred. Or perhaps they’re a turkey with dreams of fame, starring in the Thanksgiving Day parade instead of ending up on a platter. Whether it’s action-packed, heartwarming, or downright hilarious, this activity lets imaginations soar higher than a turkey trying to take flight (well… almost). After the story is written, it’s time to bring it to life with a colorful drawing! Turkeys in disguises, turkeys in Paris, or turkeys just living their best lives, it’s up to the kids to illustrate their feathered protagonist’s escapades. Perfect for combining creativity and humor, this activity will leave everyone thankful for laughter, storytelling, and turkeys with BIG dreams. Bonus: no turkeys were harmed in the making of these tales! Enjoy!

Introducing Thanksgiving Coloring Pages six pages of festive fun that’ll have your students saying, “Pass the crayons, please!” Forget the prep work and messy kitchens; these pages bring all the best parts of Thanksgiving without the burnt pies and questionable casserole choices.

Ever wonder what a pilgrim hat would look like in neon pink? Well, you’re about to find out! These coloring pages are perfect for turning traditional Thanksgiving scenes into vibrant masterpieces that would make even Grandma jealous. And don’t worry if that cornucopia comes out looking like a rainbow explosion, it’s all part of the fun! Your students can color cheerful turkeys, friendly pilgrims, and that one suspicious squirrel who’s definitely plotting to steal an acorn pie. No judgment here if someone gives the turkey a superhero cape or the pumpkin a face with sunglasses; creativity is the real guest of honor at this feast. So, pull out those crayons, markers, or colored pencils, and let your classroom enjoy the most colorful Thanksgiving yet. No cleanup, no leftovers, and absolutely zero debates over who gets the last slice of pie. Enjoy!

Get ready to gobble up some creativity with the Thanksgiving Traditions Writing Prompt! This fun and festive activity gets kids thinking about what makes their Thanksgiving celebrations uniquely theirs, whether it’s a feast fit for royalty or a day spent dodging burnt stuffing disasters. Writing and drawing take center stage in this perfect blend of reflection and hilarity. First, students will dive into their family’s traditions. Do they watch football with a side of pie? Go on a turkey trot that’s more “stroll” than “run”? Or perhaps their family’s tradition involves grandma’s famous sweet potato casserole (with a marshmallow topping so high it needs its own zip code). Kids will craft their best descriptive writing, sharing the quirks, laughs, and delicious details of their Thanksgiving Day. Next comes the artistic twist! Students will illustrate their favorite tradition. Whether it’s a turkey-shaped centerpiece, a chaotic kitchen scene, or Uncle Bob snoozing in front of the TV with pumpkin pie crumbs, these drawings bring their stories to life. This activity isn’t just about celebrating Thanksgiving traditions, it’s about discovering what makes the holiday truly special: food, family, and enough laughs to stuff your heart as full as your plate! Enjoy!

Roll up your sleeves (and maybe pass the gravy) with the Helping Hands Writing Prompt! This Thanksgiving activity encourages kids to think about how they can lend a hand, without accidentally dropping the turkey. Writing and drawing come together in this heartwarming and hilarious project that showcases the many ways we can help others during the holiday season. First, kids will reflect on all the ways they’ve been helpful, or could be helpful, this Thanksgiving. Will they set the table without sneak-eating the rolls? Offer to do the dishes instead of disappearing into a pumpkin pie coma? Or maybe their “helping hands” involve cheering up a cranky relative with a joke about turkeys crossing the road. Whatever their helping superpower, it’s time to put it into words. Next, the artistic fun begins! Kids will draw their very own “helping hands,” complete with doodles of their Thanksgiving good deeds. Add in some colorful crayons, markers, or glitter (if you dare), and these hands will be ready to hang on the fridge, the classroom wall, or right next to the dessert table for everyone to admire. Perfect for inspiring gratitude, creativity, and just a touch of turkey humor, this activity is all about making Thanksgiving more special, one helping hand at a time! Enjoy!

Get ready to rake up some gratitude with the Thankful Tree Writing Prompt! This Thanksgiving activity combines creativity and reflection to create a heartfelt masterpiece, and no actual leaves will clog your yard. Perfect for kids who are full of thanks (and maybe a little too much turkey), this activity invites them to write and draw about the people, things, and snacks they’re most grateful for. The fun starts with crafting their very own Thankful Tree. Each "leaf" becomes a blank canvas for kids to jot down what warms their hearts, like family, friends, and possibly an unhealthy obsession with mac and cheese. Once the writing’s done, it’s time to branch out with some drawing! Students can add colorful flair to their trees, turning their gratitude into an autumnal work of art. This activity is ideal for classrooms or as a family bonding moment that doesn’t involve fighting over the remote. By the end, kids will have a beautiful Thankful Tree they’ll be proud to display, and you’ll have a little peace and quiet, at least until dessert. Fun, festive, and packed with good vibes, this writing prompt is a must-have for spreading gratitude (and maybe sneaking in a little spelling practice). Let’s get thankful! Enjoy!

Let’s turn Thanksgiving into a feast of creativity with Thanksgiving Writing Prompts! This fun-packed activity is stuffed with opportunities for kids to write, draw, and share their most hilarious and heartfelt Thanksgiving ideas. With topics like what they’re thankful for, their dream turkey dinner, or imagining life as an actual turkey (spoiler: it’s stressful), these prompts bring out the best of their imaginations, no gravy required. First, kids will gobble up the chance to write their thoughts, whether it’s a laugh-out-loud turkey escape plan or a sweet reflection on family traditions. Whether they’re describing how they’d turn stuffing into a world-class dessert or inventing a superpower to make the dishes magically clean themselves, the writing prompts keep things light, engaging, and oh-so-fun. Once the words are down, it’s time to add some artistic flair! Each writing prompt comes with space to draw, turkeys in disguise, Grandma’s famous pumpkin pie, or even a family food fight (oops). It’s the perfect excuse to get creative and colorful. These Thanksgiving Writing Prompts make writing less of a chore and more of a festive celebration. Perfect for classrooms, family gatherings, or just passing time before the pumpkin pie is served. Because who said creativity can’t be on the menu? Enjoy!
