Lets Get Crafty!

Help me give my students Diamond Painting and craft supplies for the library

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Orensten's classroom raised $310

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students in my school come to the library for books, quiet space, makerspace, and for the opportunity to create.

Having consumable materials for students to create projects on their own as well as a collaboration art project that many students can participate in means the world to my students.

I’m requesting the materials needed for my students to create diamond paintings, create origami projects, thread making for friendship bracelets, and finally paint by sticker books to help students take a moment to pause their day.

These materials can be used independently, in small groups, on school activity days, and during class visits to the library. My students encouraged posting this project as they have asked for these resources to create with in the library so I know all materials will be used and enjoyed by students.
