My Project

My preschoolers are just beginning to discover all they can create in the art area. They are beginning to get very interested in collage and our collage supplies are becoming limited. The children lately have been excited to create holiday decorations and puppets. They also enjoy using recycled materials such as boxes to create art with.

Kwik Stix tempera paints are a very popular item in our classroom.

These materials are durable, easy for the children to be independent with, and dry faster than traditional paints. While our children also love our easel, they love to be able to take their art home the same day and this is something that can happen when they create with Kwix Stix.

I love watching all of the creative activities that happen at our art center. Thank you for helping us to restock many popular items so that our children can continue creating!
