This is what you see when you first walk in the toy room. in the left bottom corner is our sensory table and under it is our light table, spinner, and a tub of blocks.
the green table we will have a bin of books, coloring books etc. the pink doll house is on a table we also use the tables for stations. (update in the near future)
Behind the green table we have a book shelve with two barns and a bin with tools. (kids use the tools when playing doctor....Maybe this should be my clue to get a doctor kit! :D)
The wire racks on the top left are paper organizers i have all our craft paper, stencils, coloring books, stickers and the busy books i have made. (I will fill you in later) underneath we have homemade chalkboards, and extra lids for our small bins, to the side we have giant book and giant search and finds.
The big table in the middle is what we use for arts and crafts the big white board is actually a cardboard box i turned into a word board. (will explain at the bottom of post)
Above the word board we have these shelves the bottom shelf is home for the puzzles, knex, place and trace, lace ems, and our pattern shape pieces. The top shelf is out Math shelf we have play money/ cash register, car trouble game, dice, fake money i printed of and laminated so we could use for our circle time. ( we talk about who/ what is on each one etc...) we have cooties, don't spill the beans, math mats, counting/adding/subtracting puzzles, and the blue bin holds magnetic pieces which should be on the literacy shelf oops!
This shelf is our literacy shelf we have our tag/ tag jr bin, leap pads and binder, an ABC game, bingo game i printed off, pick up stick version with words on them, container with words for word-board, literacy eggs, I spy game along with puzzles with words and matching picture, ABC puzzle with matching animal for each letter, Zingo game etc...
Next to literacy we have science bins ( we are still growing) we have a talking microscope with slides, pine cone, wasp hive, think it through game. We also have practical life bins. ( I made a clothes line with foam clothes etc. We are still growing this as well.
Next to these we have our paint along with paint supplies ( brushes, shape sponges, sm containers of paint )
More pictures of the room from different angles.
we have five of these three drawer bins they hold items like babies, barbies, blankets, diaper bags, mr potato head, waffle blocks, cars etc.... on top i have yet more bins i divided the animals up for our different themes, we have little pet shop animals, people etc... in the sm bins. This has decrease the mess making.
Above these we have three shelves full of our sensory and craft supplies everything from glue, staples, crayons and markers to water beads, wooden beads, pipe cleaners, felt, and tissue paper.
To the left of the closet where the other two three drawer carts are we have a heater and on the shelf above the heater we have our library I have divided them up and put paper in between the different categories until i can get baskets for the categories!
this is our small but wonderful toy room we play in here and in my living room as well were we have a marker board/ look and find board and our circle time/ calendar these will soon be added to the toy room....
Now for the word board......
I took a large cardboard box and folded it down flat.
put white contact paper on one side
added long strips of velcro to the board
made words and letters to put on the board
added Velcro to the back of the word
let the kids play
super easy and kids have so much fun making funny sentences!
