My Project

Preschoolers are visual and hands-on learners. They love to touch, feel, and explore. I am requesting color sorting crayon boxes, a pegboard set, sorting bears, jumbo magnetic design shapes, board books, and more to explore STEM skills throughout our school day with colors and shapes.

Color sorting and Engineering with blocks boosts cognitive skills like categorization, problem-solving, and logical thinking, sharing, and cooperation while also improving fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, and language development through naming colors and describing objects.

I want to provide a variety of these experiences to my little Mathematicians and Engineers can learn while at play!
