These activities help strengthen fine motor skills, curiosity, and early problem-solving in a way that feels fun and engaging.\r\n\r\nThe \"Feel and Guess\" mystery box has also been a huge success. This activity encourages students to use descriptive language, build vocabulary, and develop critical thinking as they identify objects using only their sense of touch. It has sparked laughter, conversation, and confidence as children take turns sharing their ideas.\r\n\r\nBecause of your generosity, our classroom is a richer, more interactive environment where young learners can explore, imagine, and grow.
