Art supplies to help a child in foster care explore their creativity

Foster Child, 15 years old

Wish submitted by:

Therapeutic Interagency Program

Foster kids are kids, period. And they just want to have the same freedom and joy as their peers. Each year thousands of kids enter foster care in Ohio, separated from their friends, families, neighborhoods and most of what is familiar to them. It can be difficult, but One Simple Wish strives to make the transition a little easier so kids can enjoy childhood and make happy memories!

The kids at TIP participate in a lot of therapy, and most of it is done through play. Creating beautiful works of art feels good to a young child, and having a project to do with their hands allows them to share their sad and scary stories while not feeling the pressure of making eye contact or feeling too focused. Glitter glue is a perfect medium to make beautiful pictures that they can take home and share with their caregivers.
