Help me give my students calming sensory tools like kinetic sand, markers, and mini sandboxes to support emotional well-being, early fine motor growth, and mindfulness, along with seat sacks to build organization skills.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
My students are full of creativity and curiosity, and I want to give them more opportunities to explore, create, and grow through hands-on activities that support fine motor skills, sensory development, and imagination. This project will help bring tactile learning to life with materials that are fun, calming, and developmentally meaningful.
With your support, my students will each have their own mini kinetic sand box to squeeze, shape, and sculpt—boosting fine motor strength while engaging their senses in a soothing and productive way.
Seat sacks will help them keep their materials organized and ready to go, and fresh markers will allow their ideas to come to life through colorful, creative expression. These simple tools will spark innovation and independence while giving every student a personal space to explore and create.
Half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
