Most of my students are in need of fine motor skills, math skills and literacy skills. They enjoy very much putting things together and inquiring on the details of how and why something happens. My students love to play with LEGO bricks and create numerous structures. The manipulative toys like the Monster Balance Cool math game, the nuts and bolts game, and the kidtastic dinosaurs will help them reach their developmental goals. In a preschool setting, getting the children engaged is crucial. Because I'm a new teacher, I need all these resources in my classroom to make it fun and meaningful for the children to learn in the best way possible.
