My Project

My project aims to provide our young learners with a variety of engaging and educational toys that promote cognitive development, sensory exploration, and emotional well-being. We are requesting support to acquire a diverse range of resources:

Magnetic Tiles Kids Toys: These STEM magnet toys are designed to provide a hands-on experience for exploring magnetism, building structures, and learning about shapes and colors.

Coogan Wooden Blocks Puzzle: This brain-teasing toy offers children the opportunity to develop problem-solving skills, spatial reasoning, and hand-eye coordination.

Mini Emotion Plush Toys with "A Little SPOT of Feelings" Hardcover Book Box Set: This fidget toy set combines play and learning to support social-emotional development. The plush toys represent different emotions, helping children recognize and express their feelings, while the accompanying book provides a narrative framework for discussions about emotions.

Hand2Mind Children's Sensory Fidget Toys: These sensory fidget toys are designed to provide calming and focusing benefits for children. They support sensory exploration and help children manage stress or anxiety playfully and constructively.

Tangle Jr. Fuzzies Fidget Toy: This multicolor fidget toy offers tactile stimulation and promotes fine motor skills. Its twistable and bendable design engages children's hands and minds, making it an ideal tool for sensory exploration and stress relief.

Silicone Bubble POP Fidget Toy: This bubble pop fidget toy is a fun and interactive way for children to engage in sensory play. Popping the bubbles provides a satisfying sensory experience, promoting relaxation and tactile stimulation.

By providing these diverse toys, we aim to create an inclusive and stimulating learning environment for children in early childhood and elementary grades. Your support will empower our students to explore, learn, and grow in ways that support their overall development and well-being. Thank you for investing in the future of our young learners.
