My Project

The hands-on items we need will be to provide students with the ability to seek small-world play activities through provocations and play. Our students will use these materials to provoke creativity and imagination. Our students will be able to create new stories and share their thoughts with each other through the materials that are provided through this grant.

Play is a child's most natural form of expression.

By donating these materials to students, we are giving them access to express their creativity in a safe place. It gives them the ability to create with others alongside sharing with others.
