Watching Paint Dry!

Help me give my students drying racks to keep the art safe and organized!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Tomlinson's classroom raised $351

This project is fully funded

My Project

I love the excitement and joy my kids bring every day! Every day is an adventure when you are a kid. My kids are inquisitive and interested in art and the world around them. Because funds are limited, I try to expose the kids to art beyond the paper and crayons most, but not all, of them have at home.

Drying racks will help save space and keep artwork organized while paint or glue dries.

Currently, I have projects drying all over the classroom. Little hands have a hard time not touching the art! Help me keep the artwork organized and safe!
