My Project

Please allow me to have art projects on hand during class for downtime or when a student needs a break. These art projects are therapeutic and so much fun! My students would LOVE to work on these throughout the day to break up academic time. Many of my students don't get to work on projects like this during their spare time and would not only enjoy it, but learn important fine motor skills. These projects are hands-on and relaxing as well.

If any child is having a rough day and would benefit from a sensory break, these crafts would be the PERFECT option!
