I was excited to use it after school so I can quickly print the images without having to upload the images and drive to pickthem up. The process was so simple and I was able to print the pictures and create a TK Family Tree with all the pictures in less than an hour! The kids will be so excited to see themselves with their families tomorrow.

These can range from letter painting, dot marker coloring sheets, crafts with wet glue, and free painting papers where the kids express their artistic ability. The size of the drying rack is perfect since the students can fit either two letter size papers or one large paper.
