I first learned about Rigamajig while watching a documentary series about art. The Rigamajig provides students with opportunities to build using real materials made of wood and using real tools made for kid-sized hands. There are times throughout the day that students must work together even though their ages may vary. This is an appropriate "toy" for all ages and helps them learn critical-thinking and problem solving skills. It is also a tool that can be used for multiple projects across curriculum. Not only are there multiple ways in which to use Rigamajig, but it is a great resource for indoor recess when weather restricts outdoor use.
