Fine Motor Fun Exploring Preschool Concepts!

Help me give my students fine motor manipulatives to explore their learning of basic preschool concepts!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sammy's classroom raised $390

This project is fully funded

My Project

Preschool is the first year of exposure to school and there is so much to learn! These fine motor manipulatives will engage my little learners and promote excitement for learning basic concepts such as letters, numbers, and colors!

Learning our basic concepts in a hands-on way through play is so important in building their educational foundation.

The magnetic letters, sorting games, and counting manipulatives selected are a great way to get them exploring and beginning to build the pieces of that fundamental foundation. These would all be great additions to our play centers and small group learning!
