My Project

Preschool is such an important time for kids to learn, grow, and explore. Right now, our classroom could really use some supplies to make learning more fun and engaging. We’re hoping to get kitchen toys and doll accessories for pretend play, building toys like magnetic marble maze and sensory toys like sound puzzles. These aren’t just toys—they’re tools that help kids develop important skills while having a great time!

Pretend play with kitchen toys and dolls helps them learn how to work together, communicate, and use their imagination.

Building toys like a magnetic marble maze allow students to build and create. Sensory toys like sound puzzles give kids a chance to explore new sounds, helping them calm down and focus while also learning through touch. These simple items can make a huge difference in how kids learn and grow.
