My Project

Walk into any great Pre-K classroom and you should find a lot of manipulatives available for children to get their hands on. Hands-on activities using manipulatives help children explore and make sense of new concepts they are learning.

By exploring using manipulatives, children are actively engaged with what they are learning.

This makes the classroom more fun, and the learning outcomes more meaningful and memorable.

Learning with hands-on apparatus is a great fit for many children too because most children love to explore with their hands. Young children particularly can’t help but touch, pick up, and investigate things.
