Help us stock our Lending Learning Activity Library

The Learning Home Volunteers Lending Library is made possible through financial donations and donations of new and used materials to be provided to parents and children to use for playful learning. An average student will use 208 activities during the course of a year’s of instruction! Below are samples of some of the items used in their lessons.

Our children learn so much by building. They master their shapes, problem solving skills, fine motor skills, and create worlds their imagination can live in. Your donation of construction items could be the materials of a future architect’s first building.

We are happy to accept gently used items including: wooden blocks, Lincoln Logs, Duplos, Tree Blocks, Tinkertoys, Magentic Blocks (Tegu), Magna Tiles, Alphabet & Number, and small wooden trains.

Or purchase something from our Construction wish list on Amazon.

Our children love to use their imagination. Dramatic play allows for acting out real-world activities or role playing. It teaches self-regulation, conflict resolution, supports literacy and language. Oh, yea and it is great fun!

We use materials to set the scene for the child’s dramatic play, and they do the rest. We are happy to accept gently used items such as: plastic animals, play food sets, play dishes and plastic dinosaurs.

Our children love to solve puzzles and play games. Who doesn’t?

We are happy to accept gently used preschool cooperative games and wooden puzzles up to 60 pieces.

Math? Science for Preschoolers? You bet. They are learning to count, recognize shapes, organize by attributes and measure. They are brilliant.

Our littles love to count interesting things and play with different shapes. We need materials to help them grow in this area. You can help us by purchasing something from our Let’s Count It wish list on Amazon.
