My Project

I know that my students would love to work with these practical life materials! There are so many small objects in this project that can be used by my students in sorting activities.

The items requested for this project were selected because they will help my students develop their concentration, independence, and fine motor skills.

Children will use the small objects, like flowers and snowflakes, for seasonal sorting and other fine motor activities. The Locks and Keys work and the Screwdriver work will also help children develop their fine motor skills in an engaging way. The children will also be able to use the bee and ladybug stickers for art projects. The wood glue will be used by me to fix our over-loved materials.
