Everyday Supply Needs!

Help me give my students the basic supplies for everyday needs. My basic supplies are running low for items such as play dough, markers, scissors, and glue sticks! We need ziploc bags to protect our supplies and projects!

My Project

My students learn best by doing! They love hands on activities and I love fine motor learning. We can achieve this by using everyday supplies such as scissors, markers, and glue sticks. Ziploc bags help us to stay organized and keep items protected.

Playing with play dough is an essential childhood activity!

We need new play dough and play dough tools to help make fine motor and letter learning fun. Painting with cotton swabs is probably the second favorite activity. Little cups helps to keep potential mess small and manageable.
