The walking piano was a HUGE hit with my exceptional children. They did not want it to be put away. I am so excited that they get the opportunity to use it and experience music in a different yet fun way. Thank so for the amazing parachute as well! I used it with my kindergarteners to accompany a song and they were SO excited to use it. One of the students was tired and wanting to go home until the parachute came out and then he lit up like a lightbulb! It was so amazing to watch and I'm excited to continue using it with the rest of the school.\r\n\r\nThank you also for our new scarves! They are BEAUTIFUL!! The scarves we had were getting a little ripped and worn so these are extremely nice to use! The students used them and LOVED them! Everything was accepted with gratefulness and excitement! We are so very appreciative for your generosity in helping us purchase these new music items!
