Buttons and Stickers

Help me give my students a button maker and craft supplies for creative experiences!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Smith's classroom raised $287

My Project

We would love to have a button maker and accessories for our scholars! This innovative tool will allow our learners to showcase their creativity in a fun and engaging way. By designing their own buttons, students will express their artistic talents and delve into STEM principles.

A button maker will serve as a catalyst for imaginative projects where students can create custom designs that reflect their interests and passions.

This hands-on experience promotes critical thinking and problem-solving skills as they brainstorm ideas, plan their designs, and bring their visions to life.

This project will encourage collaboration among students, allowing them to share their creations and inspire one another. In addition to enhancing their artistic skills, students will gain valuable insights into the manufacturing process, from concept to completion.
