My Project

As a teacher dedicated to creating a positive and productive learning environment for my students, I am always looking for new ways to support their individual needs and help them succeed. Many of my students face challenges with maintaining focus, managing anxiety, and staying engaged during lessons. That’s why I’m asking for your help in providing them with a simple, yet incredibly effective tool—Nee-Doh fidget toys.

Fidgeting is a natural coping mechanism for many students, especially those with sensory needs, anxiety, or difficulty staying focused for extended periods.

These squishy, tactile balls are not only fun but provide a calming sensory experience that helps students manage their impulses and maintain attention. When they have a Nee-Doh fidget in their hands, my students are able to focus more intently on the lesson, stay engaged, and participate actively without feeling restless or distracted.

With your generous support, I will be able to purchase enough Nee-Doh fidget toys for each student in my class to have their own. These durable, non-disruptive toys will be a helpful resource for students who benefit from hands-on sensory input, providing them with a tool to feel grounded and more in control of their emotions.

Your donation will make a significant difference in my students' ability to succeed both academically and emotionally, giving them the chance to thrive in an environment that supports their diverse learning needs. Thank you for considering a contribution to this important project!
