My Project

This project is intended to supply every student with creative tools to inspire their creative minds!

We love to draw and color so I would love to see every student in my classroom have all the supplies (pencils, pouches, crayons) needed!

This class is so happy to write and draw together! Having these tools at hand will make the transition to creativity time easy and seamless. Each student will have many tools to create their own artwork. I'm especially excited to watch my students experiment with watercolor pencils. It will be a first for all of us!!

Thank you so much for considering making a donation to this project!
