Hi Everyone

Need a little bit of help plz. I want to create a more fascinating letters and sounds area for september. The children rarely visit this area and would like some ideas on hoe i can enhance it to encourage the children. I only really have a shelving unit however this can change round a bit if need be.

thanks

kate

Hi Katiepotatie, how old are your children?

hi they are 3 and 4 year olds

Hi Katiepotatie,

have you room to hang things - even getting sparkly fabric and cutting into letters to hang from the ceiling.

Asking the children to help can be a good idea too - maybe creating a post office or travel agents and using a range of different media to help children choose their equipment.

One of the easier ways to think about it is to follow what a parent is asked to look at, so have a look here at the directgov site;

There are just simple ideas that can trigger you off to make it more exciting,

good luck,
Spiral.

letters and sounds happen in all areas including outside perhaps you should consider not having a L&S area and use the space to turn it into something the children would access
