i like the poinsettia drawing idea - would also work with real poinsettias in a variety of colors as models for students to study, draw/paint. they're pretty cheap in my neck of the woods and NOT poisonous, btw.
ps other holiday plants would be fun to include in drawing/painting projects, too - christmas cactus, amaryllis, holly, pine boughs/cones, mistletoe...
