The materials within this project will enhance and promote the children own curiosity and wonder, even at their young age. Additional domains will target, fine motors, eye-hand coordination, problem-solving, planing, and collaboration. But most importantly, the barn and barn animals and the bee wax will allow the children to play and create something that is not so familiar to them. These items will enhance our materials and will allow the children to continue to explore, and in some way, will level the plain from their disadvantaged position, in a natural way through the natural setting of our classroom and materials.
