My Students

The entire school would benefit from the use of art materials. The project includes drawing but using coloring stick rather then coloring pencils. There is so much wood waste when it comes to coloring pencils.

To save trees the wood-less Crayola coloring sticks are a perfect solution.

These coloring sticks save tree by only being larger versions of the insides of normal coloring pencils.

I will be able to have all the kids in the school use this class set of coloring sticks. We will be and to work on all kinds of projects that crayons are to messy for and pencil sharpening just wastes time. My classes only last 55 minutes each. The more time saves the better.

My Project

These materials will save students time so they will not have to sharpen their pencil but will still get the picture quality of using coloring pencils!

My classes only last 55 minutes each.

The more time saves the better. The more time we can save the more time we will have to create beautiful artworks! Not only this but by using these instead of normal coloring pencils no wood is wasted and the entire coloring stick can be utilized to create and draw with.
