Need a Music Center! Pt.7

Help me give my students jingle bells and hand puppets for our music center

  • This project is not currently eligible for funding.
  • $193 goal

My Project

Every day, my children explore the room. This is when our children create, engage, and learn. Our preschoolers learn while playing. This includes block play, art, building, sensory exploration, dramatic play, math, and music. I want to enhance our centers to increase engagement.

I want to create a music center by music props such as hand puppets and instruments like jingle bells.

These items will provide space for my kids to perform and explore music. I want my students to develop a love for music early on. I want them to have musical instruments to explore rhythm, dance and performance. I know that these items will promote engagement and provide hands-on experience in the areas of English, Performing Arts, and Social Skills.
