My Project

I love the imagination my group of children have using meaningful toys. I am wanting to purchase this dollhouse to incorporate with my traditional dollhouse that is currently in my classroom. This way my students will have a selection of toys, and they can work on their community helper skills! With this community helper dollhouse, along with the additional family dollhouse items, my students will have a variety of ways to play and provide meaningful learning experiences through toys that are representative of real people in different situations and places
