Yay! You received your kit!
We’ve been so excited to deliver these to you!!
We have been working with artists, authors, publishers and community members to put these together for you! We hope that you have just as much fun going through them as we did putting them together!
The packs are filled with art and school supplies but we also hope the books, and activities we included make it fun for you to get creative off screen. The coloring book is filled with designs and activities made just for you too! Let’s check out whats inside!
Where did these kits come from?
Hola, we are Wendy and Jackie! We have been working with your Teacher Veronica Duran to create learning kits for all of you! Our intention with these kits is to give you fun creative activities to do off screen. We hope they provide an outlet for you to express yourself and be inspired to try new and creative things! We are excited to see all of the projects you come up with!
We couldn’t have put these kits together without all the support of our community!
Volunteers come over every weekend to work on putting these together!
Artists created special coloring pages!
We put a call out to Artists to help us create a special coloring book. This is a unique bilingual book created with you in mind! Read the quotes out loud and don’t ever forget that YOU ARE MAGIC! See your family and your community represented in the pages & remember you are not alone!
