Guest Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 Hi there everyone Ive just stayed back at work today and had a great time setting up a home corner....we did have one but have revamped our setting. I looking for some exciting things to add to it other than the usual, cutlery, plates bed table chair sofa etc. Ive got a wooden tele and printed some pictures and laminated them of mr tumble, african wildlife, chinese dancing etc for chn to put up s though watching tv. I also have a telephone in there with a note pad for messages. I'm going to buy some magazines, newspaper etc. do any of you have any other ideas that could be included into the home corner to give it a fesh look. ive also thought of putting recipe sheets in for chn to copy and write, possibly invitations and letter paper. Any oter ides would be greatly appreciated xxxxxxx
Guest lou73 Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 I love the idea of the television with laminated pictures of there favourite programs, think I may pinch that idea. What about some old yellow pages so they can see numbers and write them down in an adress book also maybe a calender for important dates X
Guest Posted April 7, 2011 Posted April 7, 2011 brill idea Lou73, thankyou very very much. Yeah with the tele pics. ive got Mr Tumble and bob good ole fave. the others are wild african animals, diwali festival, ch new yr, diff ethnic groups and some chn in a wheel chair, reading braille etc.

AnonyMouse_11414 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 we have diaries as well and shopping lists, we also have pictures of families sitting down at a table eating and men washing up ! to promote positive images. Sorry just realised it was mark making stuf you were on about.
AnonyMouse_26037 Posted April 12, 2011 Posted April 12, 2011 This may mess up other topics you have but could you perhaps introduce cards for a birthday/new baby/get well/christening etc. at different times. What about a garden catalogue/magazine - same reasons as Argos mentioned above but it's that time of year and might lead you on to another topic. Holiday brochures so they can discuss as a family (and make a list) of their favourite places to go. Paint charts/Wickes/B&Q flyers for a bit of a DIY theme?

Guest Posted April 13, 2011 Posted April 13, 2011 Wow some great ideas out there. I always have fresh flowers on the window sill and a card photo frame (like those in the school photo packs) - a child has drawn a picture of her mum which I have laminated and put in the frame. Due to lack of space in my home corner I have a laminated list of telephone numbers which is tacked to the wall next to the telephone. Will upload the list when I find it.

Trying hard to get things in order for going back after Easter and finish Foundation Degree, half a week gone already time still flies when your off!!!! Sue
