My Project

I am a third year kindergarten teacher and I will be needing more craft supplies for my classroom next year. I have done a lot of my own purchasing and as a teacher it is hard to get all of the supplies I need to do crafts and fun activities with my kids.

These items will help my students use their creativity while also building fine motor skills and working on adding detail to the things they are making.

All of these items will be used in some sort of craft or art project. We also use these items a lot during holidays to make bright and colorful gifts to share with their families. My students eyes light up when I bring out the paint or the beads and I would like to be able to continue to see the sparkle in their eyes when we get to use these items!
