Little Hands, Big Art!

Help me give my students new art materials to help enhance our students’ learning and development!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. James's classroom raised $342

This project is fully funded

My Project

These new art materials like markers, crayons, paint and glue sticks, will greatly benefit our Head Start classroom by encouraging creativity, self-expression, and developmental growth.

Through painting, drawing, and hands-on crafting, children build fine motor skills, learn to express emotions, and explore early concepts like colors, shapes, and patterns.

These experiences also promote language development as children describe their creations and collaborate with peers. For many of our students, access to quality art supplies at home are limited, so having them in the classroom ensures every child can explore, create, and grow in a nurturing, imaginative environment.
