Creative Minds and Kleenex

Help me give my students art supplies and kleenex to be creative and use their imagination.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kurtz's classroom raised $987

This project is fully funded

My Project

My project consists of art supplies and basic supplies. The wiggle stools will be used to help students be able to move and be active while also being creative. The construction paper, stickers, cardstock paper, markers, scissors, and glue sticks will be used to allow students to be creative and use their imagination. They will be encouraged to create artwork that's different and learn how to think outside the box. The laminator and lamination will be used to laminate their artwork so it doesn't get bent. The zipper pouches will be used to keep their art materials organized. The Clorox wipes will be used to keep the classroom healthy and ensure we can continue to learn. The Play-Doh and zip ties will be used to create 3D art and encourage the students to be creative. The baskets will be used to ensure our art supplies is organized and easy to access. The circle accent pieces will be used to create art outside the box. The clipboard will be used to create art while also being comfortable. The book tape will be used to hold our art together when we want to use something other than glue. Finally, the Kleenex will be used to ensure we stay healthy and safe.
