Police Station Role Play Area

[Guest]

Our children have been particularly interested in playing spies and cops and robbers. As a result we've decided to have a police station as our role play area after half term. Any ideas or inspiration would be greatly appreciated!

Plenty of small notebooks/pencil so that evidence can be taken down!

Get them to make walkie-talkies out of those mini cereal boxes

cardboard box police cars with sring that can go over their shoulder, if you know what I mean!!

Interrogation area!

a cardboard box 'jail'

 

 

etc etc

...and a double cassette player for making tapes of 'confessions'!

 

and have a look at Sparklebox - they must have some role play area signs...

Cops and Robbers - is it the Alhbergs? This is the Burglar Bill story isn't it that Posy cited.
