My Project

My kindergarteners absolutely love our new Lakeshore Snap-Bots center. Currently, we only have enough sets for 2 students to build robots during our center time. We would love 2 more sets, so it can become a 4 person center. Kids mix and match parts in 9 different shapes to build a variety of freestanding robots. These robots help build fine motor skills since kids have to snap pieces together. My students love building robots and then they have the robots play with each other.

Your donation will provide my students with an engaging building center.
