My Project

I am happy to share that we have 2 wonderful easels in our classroom for our scholars to use in their creative endeavors. I would love to be able to begin using these easels to help foster creativity and expression for our creative kinders! We will be using the paint, smocks, and drying rack to help our little artists create.

Painting has been shown to help with fine motor skills, dexterity, and grip strength.

Additionally, painting is a wonderful form of non-verbal self-expression. I think that these materials will really enhance our curriculum and give our students an exciting new creative outlet.
