PAINT PALS!
A SNAIL MAIL PROJECT created to facilitate COLORFUL connectionS
Designed in an effort to encourage creative communication through watercolor and written words (rather than fingers to keyboards), this is an opportunity for kids and adults to thoughtfully connect via a reflective postcard writing practice.
Betterish is thrilled to be offering this project in partnership with Boulder Colors, who create pigments and paints from plants and food waste from locally sourced organic ingredients in Boulder, CO (vegan & waste-free!)
