My Project

Preschoolers love to explore, experiment, and engage with a variety of art materials. I am requesting white and metallic cardstock, Twistables crayons, Expo markers, and more so my students can show their creativity in art! We have recently been using Twistables crayons and we love the ease of use and the smooth coloring. We would love to add more to the art table! The white cardstock will be used for student made books, to keep them durable. The metallic cardstock will be used for an art project creating the colors of a traffic light during our Signs Study.

Art encourages critical thinking and problem-solving, enhances fine motor skills through tasks like drawing or sculpting, and offers a safe outlet for emotional regulation.

Focusing on the process rather than the product, art promotes confidence, self-esteem, and social skills. Help our preschoolers show their creativity in art by using a variety of art tools!
