Help Replace Our Botany Puzzles!

Help me give my students wooden botany puzzles to replace materials that were destroyed when our classroom flooded.

My Project

Our classroom flooded over winter break when a pipe burst above our room. Many materials were destroyed, including our wooden botany cabinet and botany puzzles.

I'm requesting a botany cabinet with puzzles for parts of a tree, flower and leaf.

These puzzles also come with nomenclature cards for the children to practice their skills. The children can trace and label each puzzle to learn the parts of the tree, leaf and flower. The older children can then use the nomenclature cards to make booklets. Thank you for replacing our damaged materials!
