Learning Through Play

Help me give my students sensory play materials to go with the sensory bin table I inherited from a teacher who was moving, as well as building toys and minifigures to go with the legos I already have.

My Project

I inherited a sensory bin table from another teacher, and would like to add kinetic sand and sensory toys to it to engage my little learners. I would also like to add some more building toys to my classroom as these have proven to be incredibly popular with my students. I have lots of legos that they love building with, but I have no minifigures for them to engage in dramatic play in that station. I would love to add this element to it.

Play is an incredibly important part of learning in primary grades, and helps students develop social skills as they collaborate to build intricate structures.

My students are always so proud of their creations, and my camera roll is filled with the pictures to prove it! Please help me to give them more opportunities to express themselves and work together through play-based experiences!
