My Project

Paint sticks are a great way for my younger students to experiment with "paint" but stay a little cleaner! Win/Win for both teacher and parents! It's important to provide students with age-appropriate art supplies.

With these new art materials, my students confidently create their artwork with much less mess!

I will use the paint sticks in place of paint to create backgrounds for projects that we make based on the books, "The Little House" and "Giraffe's Can't Dance." Both colorful and engaging stories that will become fun art to create.
