My Project

My students are some of the most amazing and creative kids you will ever meet. Despite the lack of creative materials many of them have at home, when they come into our classroom their creativity blossoms and thrives. Having a variety of materials available to them is key in helping nurture their creative development.

These paint sticks will give them a new medium to express themselves and their creativity.

Some days, we just don't have time to get the paint and paintbrushes out. These paint sticks will be an alternative to those days where they can create a masterpiece without the mess and time of traditional paints. These quick-drying paint sticks will also allow students to create a more detailed picture without the struggle of the paint mixing together as they wait for it to dry.
