hopeytg Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 We were lucky enough to receive some extra funding for our 2 yr olds and I have £140 left. Do you have anything in your setting that you feel is essential for 2 yr olds? We have new changing mat etc I am thinking more along the lines of resources.
blondie Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 COULD YOU DO A RESOURCE CHECK-SEE WHAT YOU HAVE FOR 2 YEAR OLDS THEN LOOK AT WHAT YOU NEED? OUT DOOR TOYS -SCOOTERS - INSIDE IS ENDLESS -WE BOUGHT A LOW LEVEL SAND/WATER TRAY FOR OUR 2'S AS FOUND THE HIGHER ONE WAS HARD FOR THEM TO USE - MOST ON TIPPY TOES OR ALMOST FALLING IN WHERE CLAMBOURED TO REACH SAND/WATER X 2
Fredbear Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Lots of sensory resources, musical instruments and if you can a mud kitchen.
narnia Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Community Playthings mini blocks. All of our children play with them regularly, but they are especially lovely for the youngest ones
hopeytg Posted April 14, 2015 Author Posted April 14, 2015 Thank you for your replies, I am pleased to say we already have everything mentioned so I must be doing something right! Our marble run is a big hit so I think I may look for a large version with 2yr old friendly balls!
lashes2508 Posted April 14, 2015 Posted April 14, 2015 Well we have just purchased the fabulous marble tree from nicanacnoo as recommended on here and both staff and children mesmerised with it ! 1
Rob6692 Posted April 17, 2015 Posted April 17, 2015 Afew ideas: Large mark-making tools (like those big dome shaped crayons) A projector if you can get one at that price? One of those really old big ones are good for shadow play, music and dancing and high contrast visuals Balancing beam (age/stage appropriate, like the Sensa ones for under twos) Powder paint - you can make some pretty good stuff with it like moon sand Make a holistic play resource box Dark den and accessories I think that's all I got off the top of my head, was trying to come up with things you might not already have
Mouseketeer Posted April 18, 2015 Posted April 18, 2015 A playpen ;-p .....not that I have one but I can dream
