Project Summary:
How do you make a toy better? As kindergarteners we collaborated with a partner to improve on a familiar toy. We made a detailed plan and labeled the parts to design our ideas. Then we made it come to life using recycled materials and wrote a description. We presented our toys to our families by reading all about what we wrote about our toy creations! The video presentations are on the next pages of the website.
