My Project

The construction vehicles and cones will be used to make construction play dough kits. The cats, dogs, and hamster toys will be used to make pet play dough kits. The note card boxes will be used to store all the play dough kits.

These toys will help student open up their imagination when they are playing with play dough.

Sometimes my students don't know what to do with play dough. These toys will help students come up with ways to play with their play dough.

The index boxes will give students a place to place all the toys when they are done playing with them.
