My Project

I would love to bring design and build resources into my classroom of young learners. I want to inspire their creativity and help them explore their abilities to recreate, design and develop a love for constructing things out of different materials. I am asking for blocks that will help them to see the world in a 3D platform and give them the tools to create beyond their imaginations. Your support will bring curved blocks, colorful blocks, and materials of the natural world into our space. Children will see of pieces can go together to make something new and fun!
