They enjoy painting the things that their friends draw on the other side. The loose parts fit great with our Reggio Emilia approach to play and learning. The students have been enjoying making recipes with them. The sensory toys have been great tools in our calming center.

They love putting the dinosaurs together. They also love learning about space. They now ask to watch a space video that shows the order of the planets. They are using the phonics puzzles to learn the letter sounds, and the animal puzzles to learn important vocabulary.
