My Project

Simple creative activities are some of the building blocks of child development. Many of the motions involved in making art, such as holding a paintbrush or scribbling with a crayon, are essential to the growth of fine motor skills in young children. For very young children, making art—or just talking about it—provides opportunities to learn words for colors, shapes and actions. When kids are encouraged to express themselves and take risks in creating art, they develop the process and the experience of thinking and making things better! We would love to provide our students with fresh art supplies so that we can keep encouraging their creative growth!
