Art Drying Rack for Creative First Graders

Help me give my students a drying rack for their amazing artwork to dry safely!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Eley's classroom raised $333

My Project

My first graders love to be creative! Art is one of their favorite school activities. Art is a great way for them to be creative and expand on learning themes. We even have a monthly art docent that leads the students through more complex art projects. I'm often placing their art on every available surface to dry, risking the art being ruined by an accidental bumping.

An art drying rack will ensure their beautiful art has a safe place to dry.

My students will no longer have to worry that their creative masterpieces will be destroyed.
