Colors & Shapes of Nature - Holiday Joy with Photos, Line Draw, Shapes

Use the fall color palette in your location to teach about colors and/or shapes by creating nature based December holiday cards.

Here is a fun out doors activity I tried that works nicely as we approach the December holidays. I’ve exported the “pieces” from Keynote to Animated gifs so you can see my efforts and imported the Keynote into Clips for a full share at the end. Would love to see you try it and share your Nature Holiday results in the comments.

Take a photograph with fall or winter foliage, visualizing a holiday shape or colors.

Add the photo from your Photo Library a to Keynote slide. Identify a shape in the photo or choose a holiday symbol matches a color in the photo in the Keynote Shapes Library. Position the Shape on the photo in the slide.

Tap the shape, tap Animate. Tap Line Draw to outline the shape

Use Animate/Add Action to add any additional effects to the shape.

Add any Text as needed to the image.

Tap the added Shape, use Style/Border/Style to decorate your holiday shape with Nature.

With all your Nature Holiday images in Keynote, export as a movie, add to Clips for a class showcase of Holiday in Nature.

Attached is the Keynote, feel free to change and substitute with your own holiday images and shapes. Share photos or Animated gifs below!
