My Project

There is plenty of evidence to show how playing with toys and games is an essential aspect of children's development. My Pre-K students learn through interactions with hands-on toys, games, and STEM activities. Toys are objects that students use to explore the world around them, constantly educating themselves, and role-playing to best express themselves. Toys refine motor development, encourage creativity, and enhance the imagination to improve cognitive development.

Toys teach students about STEM.

My students are learning about pulleys, wheels, and simple machines. They are eager to explore and absorb how machines help us in our everyday lives. With your help in funding this kit, they will have a greater potential to understand bigger concepts Included in the project are LEGO items, Lincoln log building materials, puzzles, playing cards, games, and fidgets. Thank you for investing in our classroom.
