My Project

I would love to be able to give my kids fidgets to use both in the classroom and to give to them as an end of the year summer send off gift package.

My students learn best while using fidget toys to keep their attention.

These STEM educational toys would make tabletop toys during choice time extra fun for my students. I know they would love the fidget toys so much as well. It would mean the world to them to have these toys to support their fine motor skills.
