'Real world' resources

We are busy slowly replacing and replenishing the resources we have at nursery at the moment. One of the areas we are focusing on at present are our Home Corners.

We are pulling together lots of 'Real World' resources for the children to play with, from magazines, newspapers, takeaway menus, to woks, saucepans, chopping boards, old telephones and more.

We would like to ask if parents have any of the following lying around the house, as we would be more than happy to take the items off your hands! 

• cookery books that you don't use
• takeaway menus
• travel brochures
• home catalogues (e.g. IKEA catalogue, ASDA Living catalogue)
• pots and pans (woks, small frying pans etc.)
• wooden and metal spoons
• empty cardboard and plastic food containers e.g. butter containers, gravy granule containers, washing up liquid bottles (please make sure they are thoroughly cleaned out)
• home phones, mobile phones
• phone books
• dried leaves, twigs, large stones/cobbles from any weekend walks or holidays

​Thank you as always for your support! :)
