Fine Motor Learning Fun

Help me give my students play dough tools to strengthen their fine motor skills while having fun and learning.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Michelle Hamand's classroom raised $309

This project is fully funded

My Project

My transitional kindergarten students love using play dough during learning center time. We do not currently have many tools and mats for them to use.

These tools will enhance their learning while they play.

They will be able to practice letters and numbers and even making their names with these materials. They can express emotions using the emotion mats and they can express their creativity on the scene completion mats. They will do all this while building their fine motor skills in a fun way.

My little learners attend school on a military base, most with at least one parent active duty. Our classroom family is a place of safety, stability, and welcome. Your support of my transitional kindergarten classroom is greatly appreciated.
