Busy Hands and Active Minds

Help me give my students magnetic puzzles and designs to master their eye/hand coordination.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. A's classroom raised $404

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students with exceptional needs are highly motivated in working in their individualized learning stations tailored to their needs and skills. They are highly reinforced with magnetic puzzles and designs after working on their TEACCH (Treatment and Education of Autistic and related Communications Handicapped Children) tasks. My students love keeping their hands busy and their minds alerts with these sensory driven puzzles.

Working on patterns and highly structured puzzles remain to be highly motivating for all my students.

Many of our old materials are either very worn out or broken. We are hopeful that these updated puzzles will last longer with sturdier materials.
