Let's Paint in Kindergarten!

Help me give my students a new painting easel and related art supplies.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Amsden's classroom raised $240

This project is fully funded

My Project

Kindergarteners LOVE to paint, and I love to provide a welcoming and inspiring space for them to create art. The painting easel is always a very popular center with my students, but my previous easel is broken and unsafe to have in the classroom. These kinds of supplies are unfortunately not purchased or provided by the school district.

Young children deserve to have opportunities to explore their own creativity and express themselves in school.

A new art easel will be such a special gift for our classroom. I've also asked for a nonslip mat to protect our floor, and various paint cups and brushes.
