Riding into Fun: Help Us Get Bikes for Our Preschoolers

Help me give my students new tricycles and safety signs for outdoor play.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Amber's classroom raised $1,130

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our preschool serves a diverse group of kids, many of whom are from the local homeless shelter. Right now, we have a few old, small, and unsafe tricycles that just aren’t cutting it anymore. They’re too small for most of our kids and definitely not safe for outdoor play.

We’d love to get some new, sturdy tricycles so our kids can enjoy active play, build their gross motor skills, and have fun outside.

My hope is that learning to ride a tricycle becomes a special milestone for these kids. These kids might not get a chance to do so at home. Riding trikes in our preschool can help them grow in confidence and independence.

These new tricycles will give every child a chance to develop important motor skills, burn off energy, and have a fun, safe experience while at school. It’s more than just play, it’s a way to help them learn and thrive.

If you’re able to help us out, you’ll be giving these kids a chance to enjoy outdoor play safely and create memories they’ll carry with them forever.

Thanks so much for supporting our kids’ growth and happiness!
