My Project

My students are amazing! They deserve some awesome gross motor toys to build their muscles and have fun. We don’t have many toys to play with for their gross motor time.

I’d love to have some great gym toys to make their active time interesting and fun!

Working on gross motor skills helps a child gain strength and confidence in his or her body. It also helps them get exercise and physical activity, which is important for a healthy lifestyle. Developing these skills helps a child's ability to do more complex skills in future activities, such as playing soccer with a team.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
