My Project

My students love creating new drawings and paintings, but they don't always enjoy getting their hands messy in the process.

Paint sticks are a great way for my students to paint without the additional supplies needed when traditionally painting.

Paint sticks are a stick that can be used to write, or draw with, but dries on like paint. My students enjoy using these sticks to create various vibrant creations without having to use paint brushes, paint and water. Paint sticks are a fun way to practice writing names and sight words and come in so many bright colors.

Our class is in need of a drying rack to help store all of our artistic creations as we have been trying to store them on window sills, counters, and on top of filing cabinets. A drying rack would make storing art pieces easier and more effective when drying as pieces won't get accidentally stacked on top of one another, accidentally moved with pieces coming unglued or smeared.
