Little Picassos

Help me give my students paintbrushes and pom poms to help them create their masterpieces.

FULLY FUNDED! Mx. Lex's classroom raised $492

My Project

My students are very creative thinkers! They love creating art. They definitely love watercolor painting as well as drawing with markers. Sadly, the paintbrushes we currently have are very old and not easy to use. I would love to be able to replace them.

The kids would love to create using pom pom balls.

Please help me foster their imagination and creativity by giving them basic art supplies. Most of my students don't have access to these resources outside of the classroom, so I'd love to enrich their learning experiences.
