For this task you need to make a poster or slide show (this can be printed) depicting the key elements of a quality physical environment for infants and toddlers. The key elements are:

Points to consider for your environments/experiences:

~ Incorporating natural materials
~ Allowing children choice
~ Soft and hard areas
~ Catering for non mobile babies and older movable babies

What is your answer so far or What have you done so far as an attempt to solve this question?
I just wanted to check I am on the right track with my ideas for showing "cultural diversity", do you think a photo of toddlers playing African drums or dressed up in Mexican hats playing the maracas etc would fit in with this? I couldn't think of any other ideas that I could also find photo's of.
