My Project

The dinosaur and farm animal sets will be used to make play dough kits for students in my class. The rolling pins will be placed in each play dough kit. The note card boxes will be used to store the toys and rolling pins.

Help me give my students toys to help them play and imagine with play dough.

Many of my students don't know how to play with play dough or what to do with it. These toys and rolling pins will help student play and imagine more. The bins will help store everything to keep it nice and organized.
