My Project

My students love coming to art class. Lately, they have been excited about making artist trading cards. It seems that the preferred medium for these mini works of art is permanent markers. The Sharpie markers offer the best color choices.

A big bunch of colorful markers makes it easy for every student to dive into art-making with excitement!

I’d much rather watch my students happily creating art than see them wandering around trying to borrow that one perfect color from someone else.

Another much needed art supply is cardstock. Cardstock is durable, versatile, and perfect for young learners. Unlike regular construction paper, cardstock is thick and sturdy, making it ideal for crafts and projects that need to withstand frequent handling by little hands.
