The building materials included with the build and write set well all fit into 4x6 photo craft cases. Some building materials suggested for the task card set will fit in small photo cases as shown in the preview, but some materials do require larger bins. Task cards are best hung on a wall near the Maker Bins. Task cards will not fit in a small bin with materials, but may be added to larger bins. As with many center resources, these activities do require some prep work to cut out the pieces included.
