Play Dough and Playfoam

Help me give my students reusable playdough and playfoam to minimize paper waste.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Niles's classroom raised $279

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students earn "choice time" after they have completed certain academic assignments, and a favorite activity they often choose is art. My students love to create works of art.

Drawing their favorite characters, designing new breeds of animals, and designing their own clothes or sneakers are some popular choices.

These drawings eat up most of the printer paper in our classroom, however, and this is a consumable resource that creates a great deal of waste.

Please help to provide our class with play dough and play foam so that the students may express their creativity utilizing a reusable resource rather than a consumable one.

Thank you!

Ms. Niles PS 192 Magnet School - Math & Science Grades 3-5
