Simply the Best
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Howell's classroom raised $474
This project is fully funded
My Project
My students use a lot of different materials, but the most common are the good old crayons, markers, and colored pencils. We need to restock our supplies for the new school year.
These Crayola brand products are simply the best for color, saturation, and longevity. And the Colors of the World products are particularly fantastic. Kids can find their personal skintone for self portraits and gesture drawings. They also work very well for natural colors of most mammals.
We will use these supplies almost every day, so the best is necessary.
