Donate Unused Art Supplies to Teachers
Young Students Can Learn from Our Castoffs
Ever wonder what to do with the "stuff" that is left-over when you finish an art project? Stuff like yarn, paper, fabric -- those things that are just a bit too small to use.
Well, here's an idea! Why not donate them to your local school? Primary school teachers are always looking for items to incorporate into their lessons. Varying the materials that are used to teach will provide a full sensory experience and make learning more hands-on and fun.
As an artist, I try to recycle on a daily basis. Any items I have left-over from a completed project are donated to a school. It's my way of doing something for our environment -- it reduces the cost for the teacher and the kids have fun.
Editor's Note: A great place to learn more about donating used supplies is the Dreaming Zebra Foundation. To make a donation of art or music supplies, fill out their online form, or call 503-206-6400.
