Educational Insights is stepping up to add some fun to art kits distributed by Chelsea’s Charity.

Fueled by concerns from the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, Chelsea’s Charity — an organization created by 10-year-old Chelsea Phaire last year — spread its wings beyond the East Coast in an effort to aid kids in up to 22 states. Chelsea’s Charity provides art kits to kids living in foster care, domestic violence shelters, and homeless shelters.

In honor of Phaire’s 11th birthday this month, Educational Insights contributed Playfoam for distribution in more than 350 art kits. The donation includes an assortment of Playfoam Pals Wild Friends, Pet Party, and Space Squad items.

“Chelsea’s initiative and positive role in her community and beyond is inspiring and something both kids and adults can look up to,” says Lisa Guilli, general manager at Educational Insights. “We are honored to be part of Chelsea’s creative cause, which is supporting children’s social-emotional and mental health through artistic expression.”

Art kits distributed by Chelsea’s Charity include a variety of supplies, such as colored pencils, crayons, glue, markers, sketchbooks.

Playfoam is a no-mess compound that never dries out and encourages creativity and self-expression.
