The paper organizer has been a total game changer, especially for my 30-minute classes. Instead of me scrambling through piles of paper, everything is ready to go and we can jump straight into creating. And the watercolor pencils? Oh my gosh... the kids absolutely lose it (in the cutest way!) when they see their pencil lines turn into watercolor. It's like magic every single time. We've used them for Hispanic Heritage pieces, new artist discoveries, Halloween projects, and now all our fall/Thanksgiving art — and the kids are obsessed.\r\n\r\nThe Posca pens are another crowd favorite — HUGE hit! My older students have been experimenting and layering with so much excitement, trying things they've never been able to try before. And next up, my little ones are going to use the Model Magic to make their own snowmen so they can have more hands-on experiences in class. We're also learning about Wassily Kandinsky right now and making concentric fall-themed shapes that the kids will decorate with Poscas. Your generosity has brought so much joy, creativity, and genuine excitement into my classroom.
