We also created buckets for each child filled with bubbles, a beach ball, a Kindergarten book and sunglasses. \r\n\r\nWe then decorated the room in a fun Hawaiian theme and gave each child a Lei.

We use it for fine motor (building with small legos) for patterns, for imagination and for sorting. \r\n\r\nThey also loved the new addition to our light table.

Their genuine pride was visible when they could be seen smiling while wearing them as part of our pre-K crew! We loved taking pictures of each child wearing their Lei and glasses on our last day for our class slide show. \r\n\r\nYour thoughtfulness helped create not only wonderful keepsakes, but joyful experiences and memories for each child.
