These art projects and activities are a wonderful accompaniment to your lessons on the Arctic and polar regions. You could easily tie this unit in with our Inuit (Eskimo) craft projects to add in cultural studies as well. Â While the focus of these art projects is the Arctic, we’ve included penguins and other polar animals as well. Â Winter is a great time to learn about these amazing creatures that can survive in the lowest of temperatures. Â Migration and Hibernation would also be good subjects to tie in to a thematic unit.
