Dear Angus Community,
We are currently developing our STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths) experiences within our nursery and would greatly appreciate your support.

We are looking to expand our resources to provide rich, hands-on learning opportunities for children. In particular, we are hoping to gather a range of items, including:

🔧 Old-fashioned technology and exploration tools:

- Typewriters
- String telephones
- Microscopes (in working order if possible)
- Weighing scales
- Torches
- Voice recording devices

🏕️ Creative and construction materials:
- Den-building equipment
- Simple electric circuit kits
- Musical instruments

If you or your family and friends have any of these items, no longer in use, and would be willing to donate them, they would be greatly valued and put to excellent use in supporting children’s curiosity and learning.

Please contact:

Thank you very much for helping us create an inspiring and engaging environment for our youngest learners.

Kind regards,
Helping Hands Nursery Team
