My Project

My art students are special because they love learning and of course, they love exploring new materials. These young art students, some with special needs will benefit from working with modeling dough and using simple supplies that help foster growth and self-confidence.

My students love to create, invent and explore through the arts, please consider a donation so that they can have fun strengthening fine motor skills with very engaging materials during art class.

The children really need to work on their cutting skills, by using soft modeling dough - that'd be a great start. We plan to create collages by controlling simple materials. As well as practicing to cut, roll and manipulate modeling dough with interesting tools that will certainly delight!
