What teachers are saying:

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My students completely adored each work bin for the morning. The building LEGO bricks pictures were a huge hit for Valentine's Day and also benefitted from their CVC beginning, middle and ending sounds. Having a sensory bin has brought such joy to students as they "search" for the matching pictures and appealed to their curiosity about different textures and sizes. I really appreciate having the "Whole Package" for each month and will be looking to purchase the year-long bundle soon! Thanks!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "I cannot say enough about these fine motor boxes! My kindergarteners absolutely love them, they are so engaging and they view them as playing. They are also wonderful activities for my special needs students and students who are on the spectrum, as they need sensory experiences whenever possible. Thank you so much for sharing these with the rest of us! "

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "My students love using this for our morning tubs! I have every month purchased because I love these so much! A must-have in an early childhood classroom!"
