My Project

I am creating a new project for my classroom to fulfill supply needs and dramatic play items. The Write Start colored pencils help my students easily store and use pencils that are just their size. The play dough can be used in a variety of ways such as letter and number formation, art and as a fidget and calming tool. The flair pens are perfect for beginning writers who are learning to apply the right amount of pressure to form letters and numbers. Finally, the play kitchen tools will allow for my students to partake in imaginative play and social and emotional development.
