Tiny Engineers!

Help me give my students play-based learning environment that build problem solving skills!

My Project

We are in need of design and build engineering centers which comes with photo cards showing actual bridges, vehicles and buildings, plus tons of hands-on manipulatives that invite children to build, explore and engineer. We are also in need of lakeshore manipulative library 1 & 2 which provides a wide range of graduated learning challenges. Children build eye/hand coordination as they link, push and snap the pieces together and then advance to constructing complex objects and designs.

Please help me give my students meaningful manipulative to play and learn.

I want them to become problem solver by creating structures that encourage open-ended building with minimal teacher involvement.
