Dramatic Play Wins the Day!

Help me give my students dramatic play items to help inspire their creativity.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Reams's classroom raised $522

My Project

My students love to come to school to learn, play and socialize with their friends. Intentional Play is crucial in early childhood education and adding this grocery/cafe stand will help me provide more opportunities for meaningful play for my students.

I have found that encouraging dramatic play in the classroom has helped my students develop life skills such as cooperation and teamwork.

It has boosted students' critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Having this play stand and the accompanying tools/food will help me bring more intentional play experiences to my classroom which in turn will only benefit my students!
