Building and Engineering Toys for Play Based Learning!

Help me give my students high quality engineering toys to inspire building and creating in our classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Strickland's classroom raised $337

My Project

My students are highly engaged during our free choice. I have noticed a particularly strong interest in designing and building with our engineering toys. With 28 students, we will need more play-based materials to help satisfy the interest of my students. Not only will these materials be available to use to build and design with, but also explore with their imagination and dramatic play.

These play-based such as the OMBU Magnetic Building Blocks, Rainbow Toyfrog Interlocking Gears, Fodoss Magnetic Tiles and other materials requested will inspire students to explore hands-on activities and grow a love for design and engineering.

While our academics are a high priority and major focus, play-based learning, and social experiences are necessary in kindergarten!
