Froglet Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Hello, Does anyone know of anywhere I can find really good examples of role play areas - ideally with photos to look at? Or information about what should/could be in a good role play area? I've been asked to develop mine and I'm at a bit of a loss as to what constitutes a 'good' role play area. I tend to prefer quite simple things so children can help set them up easily - in fact have set them up and just have my help to make it a little more 'structured'. I also like to be able to change them quickly to respond to interests so am less keen on an epic construction that takes a week or two to put together by which time they'll probably have lost interest anyway! I have googled images but was just wondering if anyone had any particular recommendations. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Some of the Featherstone little bills have some good ideas. There is also a book by Neil Griffith called a corner to learn" but that is more extravagant in set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may get some ideas from there. w Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
