Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

The Dramatic play space is always a favorite learning space in the preschool classroom. So much learning happens here. This space provides many opportunities for children to practice life skills, and build their imagination, and a key component in role-playing.

I want to spark my preschooler’s imagination with this fun and engaging dramatic play toys for the classroom!

They learn by exploring the items adults use on a daily basis, and learn about empathy and nurturing while caring for dolls.

Since dramatic play has numerous benefits I hope that adding appliances, doll accessories, and grooming tools for role play will help children learn real-life skills and social skills that can serve them throughout their lives.
