My Project

Do you remember how much fun it was to play pretend when you were growing up? Many kids today do not get that time and instead are glued to an electronic device. My goal is to bring imaginative play back into our day.

The gears will help my students build, and the girls are constantly trying to play pretend salon without the toys.

These kits will give them the toys to imagine and explore as they play together.

The cars will be added into our motor center and allow them to drive cars around the building block cities they create with the magnetic blocks.
