Little Hands Light Table Exploration!

Help me give my students accessories for our exploration with our light table!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Samuels's classroom raised $287

This project is fully funded

My Project

I am requesting some light table accessories for exploration play in preschool. We currently have two light tables, but no accessories to go with them. With this purchase, students will be able to use tangrams to build shapes, magnetic blocks to build towers, and colored themed pieces to practice sorting objects.

The light table is a great way for little ones to build fine motor skills while playing.

There are many preschool math skills that we can address by using these accessories.

My students love coming to school. Most of our activities are play-based, however they all have a secret academic goal embedded in them!
