Quiet Time, Big Learning: Soft & Washable Activity Books

Help me give my students quiet time and washable activity book for prek classroom!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Ashley's classroom raised $299

This project is fully funded

My Project

In a Pre-K classroom, quiet time is just as important as active play—it gives little learners a chance to recharge, focus, and build independence. With your support, we’re hoping to add 4 copies of the Quiet Time Soft & Washable Activity Book to our classroom to make those moments calm, meaningful, and fun.

These soft, fabric-based books are perfect for little hands.

They're designed to help children practice fine motor skills, early literacy, problem-solving, and self-regulation—all while engaging in peaceful, screen-free play. And because they’re washable, they’re ideal for repeated use in a busy early childhood environment.

Your generosity will give my students a comforting and educational tool they can use during quiet time, morning arrival, or transition periods. Thank you for helping create a classroom where every moment is a chance to learn!
