Families, Will You Help Us Fill Our Loose Parts Project Boxes?

iLEAD Agua Dulce

Dear families,

One of the requirements for all of our TK-6th graders will be designing and creating their own toy. We will be providing Notion n’ Motion Boxes for all TK-6th graders filled with loose parts for them to utilize for their toy creations. Loose parts are something that will help children inspire imagination and spark creativity on their own terms and in their own unique ways. The wider the range of possibilities we offer our learners, the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences. Our end goal is to ensure that our learners think creatively, have solid problem-solving skills, and are able to think outside of the box.

We are asking for donations of the following materials so all of our learners can be successful. For safety reasons, please know that the items will be sanitized with our electrostatic disinfectant sprayer. All items can be dropped off in front of the office any day through October 14 between the hours of 9:00 AM and 12:00 PM. We appreciate all of your support and thank you in advance for your donations.

Item Ideas (not limited to the list — we will take all loose parts)

  • Springs/Slinkies/coils
  • Corks
  • Small sturdy natural sticks
