Guest Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 Does anyone have an exciting mark making area they would like to share ideas of? Ours is quite good but looking to develop it further. We already have: Pens and pencils (all different kinds, with feathers, lights, etc) Range of different sized and coloured paper Book making things e.g. treasury tags, staplers, etc Post office equipment - telephone, post box, forms, stampers, bag, etc. Dry wipe boards and pens Menus Magazines Large wallpaper rolls stencils Any other ideas would be gladly welcomed.
Helen Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 How about stickers? Scissors (you can get so many different zigzaggy ones!), shopping catalogues, gardening catalogues, hole punchers, and any of the stuff that you can get for scrapbooking. Although some of the things are expensive, you can get hold of bargain bundles of matching papers, ribbon, brads (split pins that are really pretty!), etc. If you google scrapbooking, you'll get loads of websites
JacquieL Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Don't forget different sized envelopes, and I have made stamps whcih they can stick on as well. Name cards, post-its, a display board, rulers, number strips and small alphabet and number mats for them to refer to. Don't forget that mark-making includes Maths as well as literacy items.
Carol Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 We also have tracing paper, graph paper, magnetic numbers and letters. We also askthe children what else they would like in the mark making area. Carol
