The bean bags chairs will add much-needed softness and will increase the amount of one-person areas for students to rest and relax when dealing with an emotional conflict or problem. The animal puppets will provide opportunities to role play and act out different scenarios which will also help to increase the students' ability to view perspectives of their peers, as well as serve as a creative and imaginative outlet for them.

Many of them need the visual reminders to know where to line up, which area begins and ends, as well as helps teachers keep classroom materials color coordinated.
