A Colorful Way To End TK

Help me give my students art supplies in order to express themselves in color! Students love to draw and paint, and there is nothing better than finger paints and paint daubers!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

TK students love to create and express themselves daily. We go through a lot of paint and markers. This year, I made a conscious decision to make sure that the materials I was giving my students to use were their size. Tiny markers made a big difference in their hand muscle development. Bingo daubers allow kids to practice those fine motor skills and do it in a colorful, fun way!

Students come to school with stories to tell, I can’t wait to see them create meaningful art with daubers, markers and finger paints.

Having premade cut-out kids allows them to make themselves and share with their friends and families. It will be lovely to see the way they can create themselves at the beginning of the year versus the end of the year.
