My Project

My first graders absolutely love to paint and express themselves through art, but right now, we don’t have a good place for their beautiful work to dry. Wet paintings end up spread out on desks, shelves, and even cubbies—which means paint sometimes gets on our furniture, and projects often get smudged, damaged, or lost.

A paint drying rack would make such a big difference in our classroom.

It would give my students a special, organized space to safely store their masterpieces while they dry, help keep our room cleaner, and make it easier for me to keep track of everyone’s artwork. Most importantly, it would allow my students to take pride in their creativity and see their projects displayed safely as they dry.

With your support, we can make our classroom a more organized, inspiring space for all of my young artists!
