Help me give my students Little People toys to help them learn! We will learn by combining imaginative play with hands-on exploration, to support key areas of early childhood development!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
As our classroom team prepares for the end of the year and the start of our Extended School Year program we have been reflecting on the importance of imaginary play! Little people toys are a fantastic toy and tool that can help our team promote language development, social-emotional skills, cognitive skills, and fine motor skills. Preschoolers learn best through play!
As children create stories and interact with the figures, they practice new vocabulary words and communication skills!
Also, the Little People really promote social emotional skills through role-pay! Many of our students are struggling to communicate their feels/needs and wants. Having special needs and communication deficits can cause our students to become frustrated easily without tools to learn how to advocate for themselves.
Role play and facilitated play has really helped our young learners to learn through problem solving scenarios with the little people toys! We are beyond lucky to have amazing students who are excited about learning and want to play!
More than half of students from low‑income households
