Help me give my students the play-doh, dough stamps, cutters and other toys and tools, for the ability to build their fine motor skills learning letters, shapes, colors, counting and so much more.
My students come to me with varying disabilities, but the most common one is fine motor skills. Our fine motor skills help us with writing, eating, and manipulating everyday materials.
All these items will help with fine motor but will be safe for all of my students because they like to put items in their mouths.
My students love hands-on activities, like play-doh and counting cookies, and with these materials, we would be able to add fun while building up our fine motor skills. With these materials will we not only be able to teach our students fine motor skills, but we will also be able to teach and learn about colors, shapes, counting, letters and so much more.
Thank you for taking the time to read about my project and for supporting Early Childhood Education!
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
