Small Scale Imaginative Play

Help me give my students hands-on exploration materials to enhance their imaginative play.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Bhansali's classroom raised $163

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students have a big imagination. I see them pretending to be at a restaurant in the dramatic play center, making cookies with play dough, building houses with blocks, and even using their bodies to be animals on the playground.

I'd like to bring small scale items into the classroom for their big imaginations!

We recently got a large tuff tray in the classroom, and I'd like to get materials to help support their imaginative play. With this project, I am requesting materials to use with the tuff tray such as dinosaurs, fairy gardens, and various loose parts to extend their play and keep them imagining!
