We have a big beautiful playroom in our new house. It's the only room upstairs and is as large as the 2-car garage it sits above. There is an extra-large paned window that brings in the sunlight and a sloped-sided ceiling that matches the roof line. There are high quality, durable, wooden toys that are gender neutral, open-ended, and
aesthetically pleasing. Like any former early childhood educator worth her salt, I have made sure the room is organized with a "place for everything"--labeled containers, low shelves, child-size tables and chairs, quiet play areas separated from active play areas... There is still work to be done before it will be how I have imagined it to be, but it's not too shabby right now.
And where, you may ask, do my children like to play most in this fabulous room with it's school quality wooden unit blocks, double-sided paint easel, 3-story dollhouse, Papa-crafted train table, and deluxe red "retro" play kitchen?? Let's have a look:
The laundry room with new front loading washer and dryer.
Inside the empty shelves of the t.v.
armoire.
The classic empty box.
