My Project

Building with blocks and other loose parts is a popular activity in my classroom. Unfortunately, the kids don't have many Lego bricks and figurines to choose from, limiting their creativity. This project will supply our classroom with Lego Duplo bricks and people. The community helpers figurine set will help the children learn about different members of our community. They will also help spark their creativity and challenge them to build a city out of Lego Duplo bricks to put the community figurines in. Thank you for supporting early childhood education!
