My Project

Every classroom needs age-appropriate toys for the children to play with. There are times when the weather is bad and we can't go outside, so we must have something to do to keep the children occupied.

Toys are crucial for kindergarten as they help foster imagination and build social skills amongst their peers.

A classroom with engaging and exciting toys helps the children focus their energy into something fun that can also be beneficial.

Blocks encourage creativity as students build structures and places in their community. Play-Doh strengthens fine motor skills that can help with tying their shoes or holding a pencil. Train sets can lead to conversations about sharing and taking turns.
