Imaginative Play

Help me give my students tools to promote imaginative play in the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Aza's classroom raised $308

My Project

My students thrive on breaks throughout the day. These cubbies, book box, train sets, and construction sets will help my students develop critical skills they need through imaginative play. Through imaginative play, children learn critical thinking skills, how to follow simple directions, build expressive and receptive language, increase social skills, and learn how to manage their emotions. It allows them to develop creativity, problem-solving and so much more.

Too much technology, too little play.

CDC reports that elementary aged children spend an average of 6 hours per day in front of a screen. Let's encourage more imaginative play in classrooms. Technology has taken over the world, let's slow down it taking over classrooms, too.
