Holiday Gifts for Children: Learning Through Play

Help me give my students a meaningful holiday learning opportunity by giving educational gifts.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Lora's classroom raised $394

My Project

The holidays are a magical time for children, but for many families, financial constraints can make it difficult to provide gifts that are both fun and educational. This season, I am working to bring joy and learning opportunities to kids in need by providing them with educational toys, books, and games that foster creativity, critical thinking, and a love for learning.

Many children lack access to toys or resources that promote learning outside of school.

For some families, the holidays are a time of stress rather than celebration. By gifting these children educational tools such as STEAM kits, building blocks and board games, we can offer a sense of joy and an opportunity to learn through play, empowering them during this special season and beyond.

Each child will receive a thoughtfully selected gift tailored to their age and developmental needs. These gifts may include educational toys that will promote problem-solving and critical thinking skills or games that will teach collaboration and communication.

The goal is to provide gifts that will bring joy while also supporting their growth and development in meaningful ways.

Your support will make a tangible difference in the lives of these children. Every contribution, no matter the size, will help bring smiles and meaningful learning opportunities to kids in need. Together, we can create a season of joy and opportunity for these young learners. Thank you for helping make this vision a reality!
