#MYKOOLCLASSROOM CONTEST WINNERS

A big thank you to everyone who participated in our contest.  It's wonderful to see how educators and early childhood specialists are putting their resources to work. 

Ron Blatz, Discovery Children Centre's Executive Director, had this to say when he found out they'd won, 

A buzz of excitement went through our Not-for–Profit Early Childhood Centre when we were informed of winning the #MYKOOLCLASSROOM contest.  Our work with children is very important to us and the high quality service and products that Louise Kool & Galt (LKG) have been providing to us have made the work we do more enjoyable and successful.

The children here at the Discovery Centre are stacking and building with Outlast outdoor building blocks from Community Playthings.  These blocks are made from acetylated wood.  Acetylation is a non-toxic, vinegar based preservation process who's only by-product is water.  This allows Outlast blocks to survive outdoors in heat, freezing and wet weather.  You can take them indoors too.   Kids love building their own play structures with Outlast.  To learn more see our collection.

Margaret Megitt and her team at H.A. Halbert's Parenting and Family Literacy Program submitted this picture of children playing with the Aximo Game Set from Dusyma. 

Margaret let us know that,  

"We will be tweeting throughout the week as we are going to ask the parents for their input on what to purchase (with the prize) and we will make a graph out of it (early math!)"

AWESOME!

Thanks again to everyone who participated and helped make the contest a success! Stay tuned for our next contest in the New Year!
