Mindfulness and Purpose in Early Childhood Education

SET UP STORAGE to be easily accessible for the children.   Make clean up easy and organized. BE CREATIVE with storage * display * and building projects. All three are done here with a table, a big wooden tray and a plastic storage bin. Small pieces can be contained in smaller trays that hold entire projects and pieces. Mosaics are a great table top quiet activity. Lego trays are a great way to keep the pieces together and accessible and easy to use He's only pretending to be eating the pieces! Building areas (trays) can be as easy to make - cut cardboard boxes with taped sides for the surrounding trim - or collect - old restaurant trays work well. Trays are also great for keeping projects together and 'play-with-able' over a long term.   Creative play can last and last with storage for long term projects.
