My Project

Preschoolers love to create masterpieces! Art is important in so many ways! It increases their imagination and let's them explore their creativeness using their senses. Art improves their communication skills. Students can use art to express their feelings and share with others using their voice to communicate.

This easel is adaptable for my students in wheelchairs too!

Which makes it an amazing choice in my classroom. This art easel and paintbrushes increases students ability to use their fine motor skills. They begin by creating vertical strokes from the top to the bottom. This easel will also support more than one student at a time. The paint cups and paint brushes are accessible for all students to use and it allows students to be more independent.

We look forward to creating art activities and we appreciate your thoughtfulness for donating to our project!

Thank you!

Ms. Downs
Grades PreK-2
