Fueling Creative And Imaginative Play
Funded Nov 15, 2021
Thank you for funding my classroom project. My students were so excited to use the new material for centers that we received. Students were able to learn more about what veterinarians do, how to build structures using Magna-tiles, strengthen their fine motor skills by sorting balls using jumbo tweezers, and becoming more familiar with rhyming words using puzzles. I appreciate you all for helping bring joy to the classroom. I look forward to introducing these materials to my new students this upcoming year.”
With gratitude,
Ms. Dean
This classroom project was brought to life by Center for Disaster Philanthropy and 2 other donors.

Imaginative and creative play is how children learn about the world. During imaginative play, children manipulate materials, express themselves verbally and non-verbally, plan (intentionally or unintentionally), act, interact, react, and try different roles. These materials will help my students improve concentration, self-expression, problem-solving, imagination, and creativity. It will also help with their fine motor skills and learn things such as colors, shapes, and the alphabet. These tools will help the children learn in a very fun and creative way! We call this choice time, where the students choose how they want to learn/explore. Student choice leads to increased engagement and empowerment. It inspires students to want to learn new things. It allows students to show what they know, but to take it so much further. Student choice creates an environment where students discover what they want to learn.
