Help me give my students some fine motor practice that feels like play.

My Project
I have been teaching kindergarten for years and love it! Kindergarten students love school, are like sponges, and grow so much in just one year! For many, this is a huge transition into school and understanding how it all works.
Fine motor practice is essential in kindergarten and a building block to help with writing.
The button art toys will help build on that skill as well.
The Scientoy Flower Garden Building Toys will strengthen hand muscles, builds confidence, and can be a lot of fun! The vacuum will give student the opportunity to clean our classroom. The interactive pen will help with reading practice. Having access to more fine motor practice, that feels more like play, is something that I want to provide to my students.
More than a third 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
