My Project

Our preschool classroom is a place where young learners grow, play, and discover the world around them. To support their development, we need a variety of materials that foster creativity and sensory exploration.

I am requesting: Calming toys and fidgets specifically for students with autism and sensory needs.

Sensory toys and equipment to support hands-on learning and engage all senses. Playdoh and art supplies to encourage fine motor skills and creative expression.

Sensory and calming tools help children self-regulate and participate fully in classroom activities (Marzano, The Art and Science of Teaching: supporting diverse learners). Playdoh and creative materials provide meaningful, developmentally appropriate learning experiences.

Your support will create a classroom that welcomes every child, sparks curiosity, and builds the foundation for lifelong learning.

Thank you for helping us grow!
