My Project

Preschoolers love to touch, explore, create and inquire. We are always looking for engaging hands-on learning for our littles to use throughout the day. I am requesting linking letter monkeys, alphabet bowling, pop beads, a number and color counting tree and more!

My students will be able to count, sort, pattern, create and more with these fantastic learning tools!

Hands-on learning better engages both sides of the brain, allowing students to gain knowledge of the topic or concept they are studying through experience. I want my preschoolers to be able to actively engage with their hands and create something and solve a problem while having fun because learning should be fun. The items requested will allow my students to touch and manipulate the objects they are learning about.

Thank you so much for your generosity and support! You are very much appreciated.
