how to ask for donations from each child?
Every year my center has a theme book fair event and each classroom puts together a raffle basket also themed. My classroom chose a Kids Art theme we are making an Art Smock with the children hand prints and a paint palette. We would like each child to donate one thing to the basket we have a sign posted on the door with a list (crayons markers glue stickers glitter paint paper etc). We also want to send home a note in the childrens mailboxes (since most parents dont even read the signs or notice’s on our door). How can we properly ask for these donations?
Send a note home about it. Make it sound appealing to the parent as well as something fun for the kid. Parents love to donate if they know it will benefit their own children.
Simplicity: `five.
Here's my opinion: artistic talent is largely learned. Most of the so-called experts will argue this statement, of course. They’ll proclaim that artistic oil painting techniques are only in the grasp of those rare individuals that are born with a mysteriously God-like ability to create art. Being lowly mortals, we should never even try to understand art let alone try to create it. Give me a break! Click here For the rest of the story: Free Painting Lesson
