Engaging Hands-On Tools for Learning, Calm, and Creativity

Help me give my students tools for creativity, calm, and a focused classroom experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Noe's classroom raised $714

My Project

Our classroom is a busy place filled with curious minds and lots of energy! To help my students thrive, I’m seeking a collection of creative, calming, and organizational tools that will support learning, focus, and emotional well-being every day.

This project includes vibrant art supplies like Play-Doh, scented dough, paints, and paint markers that encourage creativity and fine motor development.

To support self-regulation and calm, we’ll have sensory tubes, fidget toys, calming threading boards, and a marble maze mat — perfect for helping students manage stress and focus better during the day.

Classroom management tools like a visual timer and a walking rope help us transition smoothly and stay organized, while essentials like dry-erase markers and laminating pouches keep our activities fresh and engaging.

Together, these tools create a classroom environment where creativity flourishes, students learn to self-regulate, and everyone feels ready to focus and grow.

Thank you for helping me give my students the resources they need to succeed both academically and emotionally!
