My Students

Have you ever experienced the magic of a white crayon or colored pencil? My students LOVE using white crayons and colored pencils on colored paper, they love using white crayon and painting over it and seeing the paint magically slide off of the crayon, and so much more!

My students are 800 amazing kids who love to create and love to make art.

Most of these kids I have taught for multiple years so we have formed a great relationship. I am always trying to keep things fresh and find new ways to excite them and to inspire them. Currently my students are all about experimenting with white crayons and colored pencils! They love using the white colored pencil on colored construction paper and they are loving using white crayons on white paper then painting over it with paint and watching as the paint just magically slides off of the wax leaving a white line through their artwork. The only problem with this new found love is that they have used up all of my white crayons and colored pencils so we need to get some more if we want to continue having fun with the magical white crayons and colored pencils!

My Project

I am requesting white crayons and white colored pencils. Super basic and simple, but my students absolutely love using this simple, pure color to make artworks, and I want them to be able to create as much as their hearts desire! Please help use get these supplies!

This project is so important because I love watching my students make art and use their imaginations, and I want them to have everything they need to make the art of their choosing.

They choose to make these white crayon and colored pencils artwork, so please help me supply them with these materials!
