My Project
In our Pre-K Head Start classroom, painting isn’t just about colors—it’s about creativity, sensory exploration, and early learning! We’re building a space where little hands can express big ideas using a variety of paint materials like brushes, sponges, stamps, paints, dot markers, smacks, books about paint, and more. These tools help our young learners develop fine motor skills, explore textures, and express themselves in meaningful ways.
With your generous support, we’re able to provide engaging sensory paint experiences that spark curiosity, creativity, and joy every day.
Thank you for supporting our class and helping our students grow through art!
