Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Our project requires kids' imaginations - CHECK!

Our project requires collabroative children working together - CHECK!

Our project also requires special materials and tools!

This is where YOU come in!

Please help us get the unique materials and tools we need to make these crafty creations! These include a bevy of colorful, fuzzy socks for the bases of the puppets and a cardboard "Chomp!" device that slices through recycled cardboard allowing us to create stress-free curvy designs for animal masks. We hope that you will consider donating to this project for our artistic, dramatic students to have the special materials they need to create these class projects. After the class performances, kids will get to take home their puppets and keep them forever!
