The thick barrels are great for their small hands. I also liked the size - perfect for my students. We also made a turkey handprint keepsake for our parents. They thought getting their hand painted was fun! We also used the paint to make a fall tree. Each student chose two leaves to paint so we could add to the tree. They enjoyed painting.

We've also introduced activities like hopscotch for number recognition, sidewalk chalk for creative expression, and the parachute for building teamwork and gross motor skills.\r\n\r\nWhen the students first saw the new materials, they were thrilled!
