Creative Memories Where Masterpieces are Created From a Powerful Mind

Help me give my students in my after school program fun activities to help create memories. The students need snacks such as fruit cups, fruit snacks, and crackers. We use construction paper, glue, googly eyes, pipe liners.

My Project

My students are in grades kindergarten-second grade. We use construction paper, glue, googly eyes, pom pom balls, cotton balls and etc. These materials will get used during my After School program. I have wonderful students who look forward to crafting with Ms. French. I create different crafts every day for my students. We have made cats, flowers, caterpillars, rainbows and rainbows with clouds. Some crafts take 2 days to complete. We are requesting craft sticks, crayons and more. The students like snacks. I cannot provide them with snacks every day. But with your help my student will get everything that they need.

My goal is give parents and their child a chance to experience crafting and how fun it can be.

Each student is different and they all bring different ideas and different visuals of how they see the craft should be done. I send my students home with amazing masterpieces that they created. The students enjoy their time in my program and we have a great time. The parents enjoy sending their children.
