Craft with me is an effort to bring fun and creativity to children. Crafting is a great way for kids to use their imagination and fun while providing a therapeutic component. Craft supplies will be donated, packaged and delivered to children at shelters and other venues. Supplies will be provided to create a fun craft during Zoom sessions with a craft leader. The simple and fun projects will be themed around seasons, holidays and other kid friendly topics to keep the children excited and engaged.
My name is Caroline. I am 13 years old and I’m going into 9th grade. I’ve always loved helping people. I did Door Stop Delight and thought it was fun. I also participated in the zoom story time through Bake Back America. I really loved seeing the children happy and wanted to do more.
I’ve always loved doing arts and crafts and it is something that makes me feel calm and happy, so I thought of sending craft kids to the kids in these shelters to make them feel the same way I do when I do arts and crafts. These craft kits will be sent to the shelters and then I will zoom with the kids and do the crafts with them.
Please help me with this project by getting the supplies from my amazon list.
