My Project

Playdough is one of my students' favorite choice times. I am looking to add more accessories for my students to use with playdough to showcase their creativity and allow them to experiment and explore. I am requesting dough rollers, molds, scissors, and pop beads for students to enjoy while practicing fine motor skills. The pop beads are an amazing tool to practice sorting, patterning, counting, as being creative!

Fine motor skills are essential for many everyday activities such as dressing and grooming, writing, drawing, and playing with toys.

These types of skills are necessary for independence and self-care.

Thank you for supporting our classroom learning experiences! We appreciate all your generosity and care! We are so grateful to have access to such amazing learning tools!
