My Project

My students love to build and play in the block center! They love racing cars and making buildings. This carpet play mat is comfortable and provides a road and town scene to help their imaginations come alive! They love building together and this will increase their building space and let them sit comfortably on the floor with their friends, allowing more children to play at the same time. Children learn so much during center time and fidgets and sensory items build their creative thinking and socialization skills while doing so. Please consider helping as this is their favorite part of the day!
