zigzag Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 We have 22 leaving us for school, and 15 two and a half year olds starting!!! This is going to be a complete culture shock again. I am thinking of purchasing some new toys that are more suitable for the younger children again, just wondered if anyone had any great ideas?

garrison Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Some lovely fabrics - different colours and textures. Ours are used for dens, table cloths, dressing up or anything else they decide that day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

macvicar1 Posted July 13, 2012 Share Posted July 13, 2012 Lots of real resources, real clothes, shoes (not shop bought dressing up clothes), little baskets of things like keys, purses, scarves etc. (charity shops really good, also fabric shops bargain boxes). Sand on floor level we find really important - little ones can't reach into sand tray. Hope this helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
