Malika expresses herself through art and being creative. It is important to Malika because she is seeking outlets to focus on being herself and being creative and being able to escape from school. Malika would benefit from the art kit because it would enable her to be able to express herself in a way she wasn't able to be before receiving this gift. Malika has other outlets but are all through technology and she enjoys being able to escape in other forms such as reading and creating art. This awesome art kit comes with 168 pieces and she will get countless hours of fun! She will be so excited to find it under the tree this Christmas.
