Let's Play House

Help me give my students a doll house to help with dramatic play. Our kids would love to have a house with bright colored furniture and people who look like them.

My Students

I work in an early childhood special education program, working with students to help them gain foundational skills so they can access the regular education classroom. This is the beginning of their education, and we are laying the foundation for the next 12 to 15 years of school they have ahead of them. Every day, I get to see magic happen, and the rewards are so many. The art of teaching is the art of assisting discovery.

I have two amazing sessions of special needs preschool children with a wide range of abilities.

I have students with a variety of disabilities including autism, hearing impairments, cerebral palsy and downs syndrome. My students range in age from 3 years-old to 5 years-old.

My Project

Children are born with a desire to learn and to grow up. They love to do things they see adults doing. While sometimes a child can really use the tools adults use, such as a dish drying towel or a measuring tape, other skills must wait (e.g. driving a car or moving large pieces of furniture.) A doll house allows children to put themselves in imaginary situations before they can do them in real life.

Children are learning about the world around them every waking moment.

Imitation is their way of practicing what they see in the examples given by their parents, teachers, and neighbors. A dollhouse is a toy that fosters imagination and imitation in the growing child. This imaginative play helps with social skills, motor skills, and vocabulary acquisition. Social skills are learned through play.
