Busy Hand Make Light Work

Help me give my students some much-needed fidget tools to enhance their focus.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Teresa's classroom raised $236

My Project

Even with the most engaging lessons sometimes you just need something to keep those hands busy! My students are stellar learners who sometimes need just that little extra to keep them focused!

The array of fidget tools in this project will help to keep those wiggling fingers busy and their brains focused.

Fidgeting is a normal part of keeping the brain engaged and things like squeeze balls, slime, and mini squishes are a perfect solution.

Each student’s preference may be different so proving many choices in my classroom is very important. Also providing multiple of each choices is equally important to eliminate any unnecessary distractions.
