Unleash Creativity

Help me give my students the experience to create imaginative projects with the basic craft supplies!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Schaefer's classroom raised $824

My Project

My students are eager to create unique pieces of artwork! They are often found digging through the recycle bin to find cherished objects that will combine to form the most outstanding works of art! I love to see them get excited when they have new, perfect-condition supplies to use for their art. They can't contain the squeals and fist pumps!

Kids often do not have the resources at home to unleash their full creativity with their ideas, but they love to see their imaginative pieces come to life!

The kids can form clay into animals, bowls, creatures, flowers, you name it!

They will also use construction paper, markers, and tape to design one-dimensional works to hang in the hall or on the fridge at home!

The storage items will keep supplies within reach. They will be easily accessible, with containers and trays for easy transport around the room.

My goal is to inspire my students to love creation and show them that they can do hard things. The pride they have after completion is remarkable, and I love seeing that!
