Mrs. Lopez from Santa Rosa CA is requesting educational kits & games through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Light, Shadow and Color Play

Help me give my students this light table because it promotes fine motor development, hand-eye coordination, pre-writing skills, color recognition, and sensory development. This type of play also fosters creativity and encourages children to build their imagination.

My Project

In UTK we encourage the development of a wide range of skills through purposeful play. Please help me give my students this light table project because it is the perfect addition to our play centered curriculum. This table and the sensory play materials promote fine motor development, hand-eye coordination, pre-writing skills, color recognition, and sensory development. This type of play also fosters creativity and encourages children to build their imagination. Inspiring children to use their hands when playing with light, shadow and color is the ideal way to help them explore the world around them. Thank you for your help in bringing this project to life in our classroom.
