My Project

My little Pre-K students love love love to do crafts and be outside. So why not combine the two?

We will have a blast painting with glitter paint for projects like a solar system, ocean animals, Valentine gifts, and just about anything we can imagine!

The broom and chair pockets will help us keep our mess and supplies under control. We can spend less time thinking about cleaning and more time having fun!

Finally, the beautiful lights will make our space come alive. Our atmosphere is going to be such a special place for my children to let their creativity bloom!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
