My Project

I am so excited to get some new arts and craft items for my kindergarten classroom to start out our new school year with. We will be able to use Play Foam to create lots of different designs for the whole year. The suncatchers will allow my young students to paint their masterpiece in any color scheme they choose. The colored Air Dough can be used like clay to create anything they want using different colors and then it will dry overnight. The Twistable crayons are fun and scented to get my students active and engaged in making colorful pictures.

My young students love to visit the Art Center each week at center time and these fun hands-on activities will keep them engaged in their learning.

I love that they will be using their minds to create something that they can take home and share with their families. :)
