Celebrate the End of the School Year with Tear Art Crafts!

Creative and fun end-of-year tear art crafts for preschool and kindergarten, featuring adorable owl, cactus, and ice cream designs by Lovely Little Literacy.

As the school year winds down, it can be tricky to keep little learners engaged. That’s why I LOVE using tear art crafts in the final weeks of school! They’re creative, low-prep, and help students strengthen fine motor skills while reflecting on everything they’ve learned.

These End of the Year Tear Art Crafts are perfect for preschool, kindergarten, first grade, and second grade students. They combine art, writing, and celebration all in one engaging activity!

✂️ What Is Tear Art?

Tear art is exactly what it sounds like—students tear construction paper and use the pieces to build an image. No scissors required! It’s a fantastic way to build hand strength and coordination, especially for early elementary students. And the best part? Every piece turns out uniquely adorable!
