Guest Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Have you seen "A place to learn-developing a stimulating learning environment"? It's a very good book and there is a section about home corners and role play. Linda Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hello Tissue, a warm welcome from me too Here is an article by community playthings HERE Here is just an interesting read about what children gain from role play. HERE I love the way you are planning to 'consult' the children for their ideas. Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan Posted February 9, 2008 Share Posted February 9, 2008 Hi and welcome tissue "A corner to learn" By Neil Griffiths is good for ideas too. If you've got the space and the resources I would be tempted to keep a traditional "home" corner area and develop an alternative---space ship, castle etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Hello, Just wanted to let you all know our 'new' home corner is looking great. The Children wanted a mail box and door bell. Potties, baby bottles and a changing mat, and most of all the boys thought we should have super hero dressing up clothes. Parents made dolls clothes, bedding, cushions and tablecloths. There was also a small budget to buy some new furniture and dolls. We will continue to add to it. Thanks for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dublinbay Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 Sounds fab Tissue! Isn't it great that the children are having their say in what should be in the home corner. They can really 'own it' now can't they. Well done for getting parents involved too. I wish you all many hours of play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dublinbay Posted April 18, 2008 Share Posted April 18, 2008 Thanks Dublinbay. Just want to share how much I love seeing the boys in superman suits "feeding the baby". We've just bought some great superhero costumes - batman, spiderman, and a blue and red power ranger. Children love these and they look so cute, if a little odd, in the suits which have muscles built in. Needs to be seen! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beau Posted April 19, 2008 Share Posted April 19, 2008 It sounds super and I am sure the children will get so much more from the area having had input in how it has developed. Thanks for getting back to us with how you got on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
