Help me give my students an alternative, no-mess, multi-sensory approach to drawing using magnetic drawing boards.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. DiProspero's classroom raised $394

This project is fully funded

My Project

When kids are asked to “draw a picture,” they immediately pick up a pencil or other writing utensil and a piece of paper. For some students, drawing can be a challenging, stressful task. This handy, no-mess magnetic board provides sensory stimulation as kids draw using a stylus to lift encased metal beads to the surface of the board.

No more tears or frustration when asked to draw a picture, and no more putting holes in paper when erasing “happy little accidents!” Students can form pictures, letters, numbers, shapes, or let their imaginations run wild using these boards.

Fine motor coordination, self-control, and planning are all important executive functioning skills that are also enhanced with using these boards! These boards are a great, multi-sensory alternative to encouraging creative drawing!
