Make Science Fun Again with @LearningHandsOn Toys! ~ The Review Stew

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

As a preschool teacher, one of my absolute favorite companies for the classroom is Learning Resources! Learning Resources is a leading global manufacturer of innovative, hands-on educational products trusted by teachers and parents and loved by children. Their products are alway so much fun that children don't even know they are learning while they play with them!

Science is one area I tend to struggle in teaching in the preschool classroom but it is so important for the child's development! So this school year, I am so glad I have Learning Resources by my side because they have a great selection of science-based toys and I am so excited to try them out with my preschoolers this year!

Check out some of my favorite science toys from Learning Resources:
