Dramatic Play Centre

The grocery store is not as popular as it was a few days ago. Therefore, I surveyed the children for ideas for the dramatic play centre. Here are some of their ideas:

castle

bakery

zoo

animal kingdom

restuarant

ninja house

Once again there was a vote and the winner for this time is to have the dramatic play centre be a bakery.

At this time I am requesting some of the following items:

pot holders

oven mitts

wooden spoons

measuring cups and measuring spoons

flour sifter

whisks

rolling pins

clear packaging that muffins, cookies, etc comes in from the bakery

I have one little chef hat and two aprons. I want to try to make a few more chef hats but they will be from paper, rather than cloth/material.

another else you feel will work well

I plan on getting a box for the children to paint and decorate to become a microwave and then one for an oven. The children will make a sign for the bakery and we will use playdough. I plan on also trying have some felt pieces that the children can use to pretend they are cookies, cakes, etc. We do have a cash register and a long time ago I bought a cookie/lemonade stand so I think we will use it as a counter.

The children become very excited when the dramatic play centre changes from one thing to another. The new centre will gradually be offered at the beginning of next week.
