Mona Lisa Holiday Coloring Sheets


I recently made these fun holiday Mona Lisa coloring sheets for my classroom.  I always begin my school year teaching students about Mona Lisa.  I use "Mona"..."Lisa" as a way to get classroom attention as well having students get ready for dismissal, "Look Mona Lisa Ready."  Knowing how much my students love learning about the Mona Lisa, I thought it would be fun to create some holiday parodies of Mona.  I plan on using these as part of my monthly free choice coloring sheet option for students who finish work early. If you think these would be cool to add to your classroom or you would like to support my Teacher Pay Teacher Store click on this link:  Crazy Busy Art Room Store. Thanks in advance for any support you may give by liking my store, making a purchase or writing a review.  Have a great weekend friends!
