Hundreds of art projects and videos for kids that are fun for kids -

 

AND fun for you.

 

 

We've helped thousands of homeschoolers and art teachers teach art to kids.

 


We're ready to help you say YES to YOU - and the kids that you teach.

 

I just want in - take me to the bottom!

100% Kid-Tested

Our projects are tested across K-7th in homes and in the art room  so you are successful, no matter what grade you're teaching the projects to.

100% Kid-Approved

Say goodbye to hearing "I'm bored", "I hate art time", and un-engaged kids. Our lessons are more than Monet. They're frost giants, optical illusions, and dragons!

100% Cross-Curricular

Effortlessly link art to science, history, geography, language arts, and math so kids further their learning. Our projects are also great for STEAM!

Kids love creating what they're passionate about - but they don't know how.

You might have scrambled for that mid-afternoon or evening Pinterest or Google search a time or two, and if chances are, you've found:

  • projects for the wrong grade
  • projects with no instructions
  • the same projects over and over
  • the same cookie cutter crafts
  • no projects for the subject you want to teach
  • projects that are...boring

How often have you walked away with something that you thought would work - but your kids are less than excited.

 

You need an art program that's fun for kids - but still covers the elements and principles, different mediums, artist studies - alongside science, history, geography, and more.

 

An entire library of art projects and resources at your fingertips - 24/7.

 

A single place to locate step-by-step projects at your fingertips.

 

With videos.

 

Done-for-you curriculums.

 

Activities that link science, geography, and writing.

 

When your kids were asking for art time - or you needed that sub plan - you were ready.

 

And every. single. project. kid-approved and developed with kid-input so you KNEW it would be fun.

But don't take our word for it - here's what our members are saying!

I asked my husband if a yearly membership for this group could be my birthday present and I have to say… it has been a life saver! In 4 weeks I was able to do a different lesson with each of my 24 classes and even give students a choice between 2-3 different lessons with similar supplies. At the end of the 4 weeks, we had an art show. Everyone raved about how talented our students were and how every single one was successful. We have roughly 360 students and I see them once a week for 45 minutes. Not taking in to account there were a few sick days, testing days and field trips in there too so not every class got to see me 4 times. The ease of using the system was great as well. I’ve used other lesson planning systems and while the content was great, it wasn’t organized as nicely and as easy to download for admin to see my lesson plans. One of my favorite features is the picture view so you can look quickly at each example.

We have loved our Glitterbombers membership, it is the best money we spend on homeschooling monthly and the best return on our investment. We fight perfectionism in our home and I didn’t think I could teach art, but it is now easily our favorite subject and I feel like I have a trusted guide beside me. Our kid said the yeti project was the first time she’s ever loved her artwork and I am always looking forward to the next project we do. There are so many great projects to choose from it easily fits into our unit studies and curriculum.

The Glitter Bomb Art Curriculum has elevated the Taylor School's art program. The lessons are designed to set the students up for success, enabling each one to tap into their creativity and produce work they can be proud of. Students are highly engaged because their artwork allows them to see themselves as creators of display-worthy art.

Our art program is the hallmark of the school, in large part due to The Glitter Bomb Art Curriculum. The annual Art Show is the highlight of the year. Our families are amazed by the body of work created by our students. The success of our art curriculum, and our focus on the arts as an integral part of our school culture, would not be possible without the wonderful curriculum provided by The Glitter Bomb.

 

 

 

Julie R., owner of The Curious Brush, has this to say:

As an art studio owner, I truly value my membership with Soul Sparklettes Art. The lessons, of course, are so engaging and my students love them. I appreciate how flexible they are, so I can adapt them to different skill levels, and help everyone feel successful. I can even adapt them to different art supplies, based on what I’ve got on hand! But just as important is the access that Julie Soul and her team provide. If I need direction on finding a project to suit a specific theme, a certain age group, or a Zoom class — any situation at all! — I reach out to them, and I get a response the same day, with truly helpful guidance. Every time. On those occasions I truly feel like I’ve got a team behind me, and the reassurance that makes me feel, knowing they’re only a text away, is huge.

Our projects are developed by a homeschooler and art teacher team who teach art - just like you.

 

No more art projects designed by companies who aren't even in the arena, or those who don't even know kids.

 

We're here to support you through your unique challenges.

Why can't we just draw dragons?!

 

Now you can - and learn art techniques and skills too.

 

We've been there. We are there. And that means we're there for you.

Don't wonder what it looks like inside the membership portal - see it for yourself!

Our projects are a mix of history, science, geography , and kid favorites -don't ever feel guilty about "just doing art" again!

Our members always have a say - because this is YOUR membership too.

 

 

Scuba dive through coral reefs, board a plane to Madagascar or a National Park, travel back to Ancient Egypt, learn about U.S. History and the 50 States, or study Impressionism.

 

And while you're teaching - you're learning too. Our lessons come with handouts to learn more about the topic, as well as drawing guides, and other resources.

 

You'll love hundreds of lessons already in our library and our upcoming bundles which include Magic and Mystery, India, Microbiology, and more. We work hard to match our projects to the curriculums that you know and love - and to what kids love too.

 

And members vote every fall on the new year - as well as give input all year round. 

 

Wouldn't it be nice to feel heard - and to ask for lessons that you need...and get them?

Our bundles are STEAM and core content rich - and they pair effortlessly with other curriculums.

FAQ

Other memberships are twice the cost, and make you wait to access your projects.

 

We care about keeping our costs low - so that you can still swing by your local coffee joint.

 

You shouldn't have to wait until after kids have lost interest before you can access the lessons you want and need. Kids may be into dogs this week and into unicorns the next!

 

When kids want to draw the beetle they saw outside - you'll be ready. Members have full access to all of the lessons, resources, and handouts inside the membership as soon as they join. They also have input into what's coming into the membership next!

A project for every occasion - and kids are begging for more!

I use the Glitter Bomb lessons alongside others to complete my units. I will say that the lessons from this membership have been some of the most successful and most memorable for all of my students. I also really like how these lessons seamlessly incorporate cross-curricular components so that my students are learning other subjects in art class without even realizing it!

It’s so hard to choose my favorite Glitter Bomb project, but since I have to I would choose Monarch Butterfly and Glow-Bot. Both of these were wildly successful! The Monarch butterfly project made my 4th graders feel very proud and confident in their skills, and my 1st graders thought that the blending glow effect of the chalk pastels in the Glow-Bot project was magical!

We stumbled on this curriculum right after I decided to homeschool last summer. I didn’t know how I would support my kids in learning art at home since it is never been an area of skill for me. My children are so much more interested in art than I ever was and their interest and excitement about it has only grown since we joined this community. But the bonus cool part is that mine has too. I have even surprised myself when I’ve done projects with the kids. We’ve been taking a deep dive into specific artists lately. Last week we did the Kusama mushrooms and the dot pattern page. And today, we visited the Hirshhorn to see her exhibit. It was such a cool experience and I felt like this program made it all even more enriching for my family. Thanks, Julie Soul and the rest of the Glitterbombers team. We are big fans!

Our membership gives us a great way to bond together through the process of art. I love how it brings joy and pride to my kid's seeing their work come together. One of the things I really appreciate is always being able to find a project to coordinate with what we are learning in our studies, or the fact that there is always something to learn along side the art, about the subject or the artist.

Joan Tietz, an art teacher and community artist said this:

I have been teaching preschool through 8th grade art for over 30 years and this is the best curriculum that I have found. Not only are the lessons fun and engaging, they also hit the fundamentals of art. I especially enjoy the literature connections and have learned about so many new artists! Julie has not only created these awesome lessons, but a community of art teachers as well. This group is so supportive of its members. I love this curriculum and would highly recommend it to beginning teachers as well as experienced teachers as myself. My students love these lessons . One of my favorites this year was based on the book: if Winter Comes , Tell It I‘m Not Here , by Simona Ciraolo. Here is an example of these adorable animal umbrellas.

Whether you need step-by-step or just an idea of where to begin...

 

Our lesson plans include books and video suggestions, a supply list, I CAN statements, vocabulary, and essential questions.

 

Use our unique leveled system to know where to start and what grades would like this project the best.

 

Scale up and down easily with our differentiation section which also gives ideas for creative choice!

 

Feel at ease with step-by-step instructions, tons of pictures,  tips and tricks, drawing guides, and additional handouts - even if you're saying to yourself "but I can't even draw a stick figure"! 

You'll be surprised at what you're creating yourself - and that you're falling in love with art all over again.

Kids who "didn't like art" were just waiting for the right projects and inspiration!

This is the best art program I have found after two years of trying different ones. My boys have loved every project we've done! They want to do art everyday! My nine year old can navigate the website independently and get started himself.

Amber W.

As we do more projects I’ve noticed way less whining in the beginning and way more curiosity and willing to try. Sometimes they still get nervous about whether they can do it but they’re being more open to seeing what happens and I’m loving the growth in confidence they have!

 

Nicole Roth, one of our homeschooling members told us:

My daughter (7) just made these and her confidence went through the roof. The first was with the video lesson she watched yesterday and the second was from memory this morning. The video lessons allowed her to work creatively and independently and were a great boon for our homeschool day. It gave her the freedom to pursue art and flourish creatively. She's feeling like a true artist.
