Back in time

Another popular independent choice after literacy work this week has been to explore the props in our "old fashioned" dramatic play area.  With a little cardboard and paint we created a play area that looks much like the hearth in the Donald Hall's The Ox-Cart Man. The children can feel sheep's wool, shingles, a wooden bowl, bread loaf pans, a hand knit shawl and mittens - all items that were mentioned in the book!
