My Project

This project is all about making learning a joyful and meaningful experience.

Maria Montessori said it best when she declared "Play is the work of children."
As a primary school teacher, I could not agree more with this statement! It is my mission to make learning as fun as I possibly can for my little firsties and I need your help to make it happen.
For this project, we are requesting a variety of Hand2Mind learning games and toys that will help to build foundational skills in both reading and math. Some of these include: Numberblocks linking cubes, counting cactuses, pattern block, reading rods, spelling toys, and so much more! We are also asking for some sensory toys as well as toys that will help develop social and emotional understanding and storage bins to help keep our new learning games organized.
If you believe learning should be fun, then please consider a donation to this wonderful project.
