My Project

Help my class have some fun art days! My children love to do art work and show their artistic talent. The more art things we have in the classroom the better! Children always ask to draw, write, and color when they are at school. I love this for them because it gives them the ability to be themselves and draw whatever they want and how they feel on paper! Our children are so thankful to have people that support our preschool and appreciate everything that is being donated to the classroom!
