Meet Lucas the Spider - Plus a Directed Drawing Activity!

 

Meet Lucas.
This adorable ball of fluff is the creation of Joshua Slice.  Amassing 3.61 MILLION subscribers on YouTube, Joshua has been sharing Lucas with us since 2017.  Voiced by Joshua's nephew, Lucas totally triggers my cute aggression reflex.  (It's a thing, look it up)  He even makes me *think* about hating spiders less...... 

Lucas is perfect for the classroom because he is so kind-hearted and gentle.  He just wants to be your friend.  This video is great to use during your back-to-school activities, or even as a refresher after a particularly tough day out on the playground.

He is also very musical.
I like to use these videos as time-fillers.  There are some good social-emotional lessons built in.  Many of Lucas's videos lend themselves to conversations about feelings, problem solving, and exploration.

There is even a Lucas the Spider Store!  So many cute items!

To add to the classroom fun with Lucas, I created this directed drawing page so your kiddos can draw their very own Lucas!!  Post this up on your projector or smartboard and watch the creativity flow!  If you plan to give each of your students their own, please note that this printable fits a 9x12 sheet of construction paper.  

Enjoy!
