Help me give my students washable markers for young students struggling to grasp a pencil or pen.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Haigler's classroom raised $179

My Project
Some of my students struggle with fine motor skills and have difficulty holding a pencil or pen. Learning to use a pincer grasp is a skill many are focusing on in class as well as in occupational therapy, but in the meanwhile, I would love for my students to experience the joy of drawing and coloring their own pictures.
The markers requested are perfect for little hands that do not yet have the fine motor skills to maneuver traditional markers.
Please help to provide these students with easy-to-hold markers so that they can create along with their peers.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
