Tempera Cakes

Help me give my students tempera cakes to paint their beautiful, colorful masterpieces.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gardner's classroom raised $203

My Project

My students love to paint. When they are in the midst of their painting class, they are so quiet and engaged in the process. Tempera cakes are the easiest way to paint with young children. Set up and clean up are quick, allowing for more painting days.

Sadly, it is time to retire my very old tempera cakes.

I have been using the same tempera cakes for 18 years. Of course, refills have been used over the years, but now the plastic containers are starting to deteriorate. Having new containers would be a great addition to next year's art lessons.
