Pixel Art with Counting Cubes – Seasonal Designs
$6.00
Description
Description
This resource works on so many great technology skills. While students may be familiar with using snap cubes (or counting blocks or whatever you call them) to make designs, it brings the skill to a whole new level to do it digitally.
There are 4 levels for each design.
•Level 1 is the easiest and only includes the colors of that specific design. There are multiple of each color snap cube layered over each other so students shouldn’t have to copy/duplicate the cubes to make the full design. There is also a grid over the design to help students place the blocks.
•Level 2 is the same as level 1 except no grid and less layers of the snap cubes.
•Level 3 brings in extra colors and students will have to copy/duplicate the blocks as only a few are layered.
•Level 4 has only one of each color snap cube
Choose the level of challenge you want for your students.

I went through and sorted them by how easy I thought they would be for my students and then created 3 google slides one for each grade level, so they won’t repeat the next year. So far, all of my students have loved the images we have tried to replicate!

I started using these with my middle level elementary kids and they were so excited and fully engaged in making the pictures. I love that it really helps them practice clicking and dragging. I will try it with lower grades next. Thanks!

My students loved the seasonal design pixel art. I gave them only spring pictures today and let them choose 3 to complete. Many asked me if they could do more! It’s a great lesson/practice for copy/paste.
