HI, I AM CURRENTLY STUDYING MY CERT 3 IN CHILDRENS SERVICES. I HAVE ONE QUESTION LEFT AND NEED HELP. THE QUESTION IS PREPARE A BOX OF ITEMS THAT CAN BE MADE AVAILABLE TO CHILDREN TO SUPPORT THEIR DEVELOPMENT ACCROSS ALL AREAS OF LEARNING.
THESE CAN NOT BE SINGLE USE ITEMS.

PLEASE HELP ME AS I CANT THINK OF WHAT I CAN DO

Include things like: flash cards, books, felt storyboard and felt characters, finger and hand puppets, play dough and play dough moulds and cutters, paints, paper, brushes and othe painting implements, balls, little bean/sand bags for throwing, musical instruments like cybles, tambourines, shakers, blocks, puzzles, cars, dolls, emotion dolls, dress up items, doctors set, plastic kitchen items, food, pots, pans, cups etc. The teacher may allow you to just include pictures of items in your box. Hope these ideas help. Sandi

thank you sandi i ended up making flash cards and also used your idea for the pots and pans and things like that. i did make some dress up felt characters and different backgrounds for the child to play with as well. your answer gave me heaps of ideas and i managed to finish my assignment on time. so thanks sooo much

I was so glad to hear I helped you. All the best in your future work with children. Sandi
