Sensory Toys and Materials for Special Education

Help me give my students new toy people, animals, cars and classroom materials.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Martinez's classroom raised $277

This project is fully funded

My Project

With this project, I would be able to provide the students in my 1st-5th grade special education classroom new toys. The toy animals, little people, cars and stuffed animals would spark creative play with others.

I like to rotate different toys that are available to increase their interest.

The drying rack would help us clean and organize the cup sand utensils that are used by the students on a daily basis. We are working on the self-help skill of cleaning up when done and this includes washing and drying dishes. Thank you for any consideration!
