Last year, we received grant funding that allowed us to purchase a trailer to store and haul Anji Play materials in. This was a huge upgrade from the previous year when materials had to be loaded and unloaded twice each time we did the program (loading at the storage site/unloading at the park, then vice versa). Now all we had to do was unload at the beginning of the program and pack it back into the trailer at the end of the event, then drive it to our parking spot and it was ready to go for the next program. Hurrah! But it was plain white and gave no indication of the fun stored inside.
This year, we received grant funding from the Madison Public Library Foundation that allowed us to install a beautiful new trailer wrap! We wanted to incorporate kids' artwork into the design, so we left some blank spaces (the monster's thought bubbles) for the kids to design. We're working through a few different iterations of the best way to attach this rotating art collection onto the sides of our aluminum trailer, but the kids are making some AMAZING art and they're so proud to see their art on the trailer.
"These are monsters and the round things are rocks. They eat the rocks"
(second artwork iteration: clear contact paper! lesson learned: dry erase wipes off really easily, especially when you have to smooth the contact paper down to the trailer surface. sigh.)
