Hi there
Natural materials - could be all sorts - introducing into play pine cones, branches, flowers. You can use these to add to existing play things like blocks/sandpit etc.
For sustainability I think something like a work farm or a recycling box.
Technologies can be calculators, cameras, typewriters as well as computers and ipads etc. Depends on how much $$ a centre is lucky enough to have.
Places - could be looking at where we come from, looking at globes,maps, books etc.
Hope this gives you some ideas
