My Project

In our preschool classroom, creativity is at the heart of learning. Craft projects allow our students to explore colors, textures, and shapes while developing fine motor skills and self-expression. Celebrating holidays and special events with crafts makes these moments even more meaningful, giving children the chance to create keepsakes, share traditions, and feel a sense of excitement and joy. However, gathering supplies for crafts throughout the year can be challenging, and we need your help to make sure every child has the opportunity to participate.

Having a variety of craft materials for different holidays and events allows our students to engage in hands-on learning while celebrating the seasons.

Whether it's making doorknob turkeys for Thanksgiving, superhero masks for Halloween, or creating heart monsters for Valentine’s Day, these activities help young learners connect with the world around them. Crafts also provide an opportunity to introduce cultural traditions, helping children understand and appreciate different celebrations.

Your donation will ensure that our students have access to fun seasonal decorations all year long. These simple crafts bring so much joy, turning everyday learning into special memories.
