This little robot gave us the best screen-free afternoon 🤖

The Tobbie Robot from 𝙐𝙣𝙞𝙘𝙤𝙧𝙣 𝙏𝙤𝙮𝙨 is a build-your-own robot friend that gets kids using their hands, following steps, problem-solving, and creating something they can actually play with after.

This is the kind of “educational toy” kids don’t realize is educational 🙌🏼 they’re just having fun building, exploring, and watching their robot come to life.

Perfect for kids who love science, robotics, engineering, or hands-on projects.

You can tell which students didn’t eat today… and it changes everything.

This is why school food programs are so important. It’s not just about snacks. It’s about focus, confidence, behaviour, and giving kids a fair chance to learn.

As a teacher in Toronto, I see the impact every single day. And for families, it’s one less thing to worry about financially.

I think we can all agree no child should go throughout the day hungry. Toronto food programs offer a real support that shows up daily in classrooms across the city.

Have you seen your school’s funded food program?👇🏼
