Push and Pull Trains Along a Track!

Help me give my students the joy of a new train set and updated duplo building blocks!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Sharon's classroom raised $489

My Project

The benefits of learning from a wooden train set include developing problem solving skills, imagination, communication, and fine motor skills.

Imagine the excitement of having more duplo people and a Duplo Town Dream Playground building toy set!

Preschoolers will naturally collaborate and develop speaking and listening skills as they build their stories and role play. Working cooperatively with other people is a skill that requires development, and for children, that is best learned through playing together.

My students love to build and create! Extra wooden trains will supplement the 100 piece train set so more students can play together.
