Open-Ended Art and Sensory Activities for Preschoolers

Help me give my students art supplies, organizational containers, and sensory materials! These materials will help preschoolers create open-ended art projects. Projects can be printed using ink. Please help the preschoolers to be successful!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Dee Dee's classroom raised $871

This project is fully funded

My Project

The students in my class are from low-income families. These children have not had opportunities like other preschoolers. They need sensory activities like play dough and kinetic sand to improve their ability to regulate their bodies. The art supplies will broaden their ability to make open-ended art. These activities will help with higher-level thinking.

Please help these at-risk preschoolers by increasing their ability to learn through art!

Art is motivating and so many academic concepts can be taught using these materials. Preschoolers need to have utensils in their hands so they can draw, paint, write, cut, and glue.
