Puzzled: The Art of Puzzles

Help me give my students stem toys like 3D puzzles and magic cubes.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Winningham's classroom raised $170

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students love a good challenge. These 3D puzzles and magic cubes will have their brains puzzled as they work to solve these fun, but complex puzzles.

Puzzles aren't just for fun; they help young brains develop problem solving skills and they help students understand the concept of resilience and perseverance.

These puzzles will be used during multiple points in our day. Students can select to work with these materials during our STEM start morning work, while taking a mindful moment, and even during our indoor recess days. We can't wait to be puzzled by these puzzles.
