Puzzles for Fine Motor Skills!

Help me give my students puzzles to help their fine motor skills grow!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Strickland's classroom raised $340

My Project

My students are very interested in puzzles this year! It's a great way for students to work together to build something beautiful! It also allows students to grow their fine motor skills. Every puzzle I have in my room is from my first two years as a teacher and are missing many pieces and have been well loved.

After noticing the interest my students have for puzzles, I would love to provide them with numerous new puzzles so that all students can work together without worrying about quantity or quality!
