My Project

My students love being creative. Lately, the students have been working collaboratively to turn shipping boxes into city buildings to use in our block area. While we often get out paint and paint brushes, many of the students have preferred to use Kwik Stix for this project.

We are running extremely low on these and I am requesting new Kwik Stix in people tones, neon, metallic and traditional colors in order to allow my students to continue to have this important creative art experience.

My students will love the new variety of colors this project will bring us. They will also be excited for the new paper to use when we run out of cardboard boxes. Thank you for your help!
