Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Using play-dough as a tool to develop tiny humans’ hand muscles is a must in any kindergarten classroom. The use of Play-dough in the classroom provides a multi-sensory experience that helps develop fine motor skills; it is also a beloved and enjoyed open-ended activity for young learners.
Play-dough comes in handy for early literacy development, math lessons, science activities, free play, opportunities for creativity, and so much more.
Thank you so much for considering donating to our project.
Play-dough is a key resource for kindergarteners that we unfortunately do not have.
