My Project

Arts and crafts provide a fun and interactive way for children to practice things like their fine motor skills and their problem-solving capabilities. Art activities can help children develop many important life skills including but not limited to; Creativity and Imagination, Self-Expression, Confidence and Independence, Fine Motor Skills, Problem Solving, Hand-Eye Coordination, Social Skills and Critical Thinking

The t-shirts, fabric flowers, paints, picture frames, and other items I am asking for will allow my students to design lovely gifts for both Mother's and Father's Day.

My students are so creative and love when they have free time to create lovely art work. My students will be able to create canvas to paint abstract art, a brooch for their mothers/grandmothers/influential woman in their life, and rocks to symbolize "You are my rock" for father's day gifts.

I know that these items will place a smile on my students' faces. They are excited when I give them construction paper and crayons. They are so deserving of much more than that. Please help me give my students these supplies.
