Every Child Is an Artist!

Help me give my students arts and craft supplies to support creative expression.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Erika's classroom raised $561

My Project

My students love opportunities to wonder or show their understanding about the world around them using an artist’s tools and materials. Many of the art supplies in this project are consumables that need replenishment each year; other materials will benefit students for years to come.

Artistic expression is one of the central ways children and teachers communicate our ideas in preschool.

By helping to provide artistic tools and materials, donors ensure that we have the resources we need in the classroom to enrich our learning environment. Donors will receive a portfolio demonstrating the ways we use these materials to support playful learning in the early years.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
