Help Our Imaginations Soar

Help me give my students assorted playsilks for block and animal play, rainbow acrylic gem blocks, peg dolls, paint palettes, paint pump bottles, and wood bowls.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Abbie's classroom raised $284

This project is fully funded

My Project

These beautiful playsilks will allow us to imagine that they are grass, winding rivers, oceans, or mud. These will be a fun addition to our block play area when using our animals, people, and building. The rainbow acrylic gems will be a beautiful tool to use at our light table. I can imagine the beautiful colors being accentuated by the light shining through. The paint palettes and pump bottles will be used at our easel for the children to be able to mix their own paint colors to create any color they like.

These wonderful materials will provide endless opportunities for creative play and artistic expression in our students.
