Creative Trolley

In our "sticky" and craft area, we have a trolley that has three shelves for the children to access resources from. We have different kinds/types of paper and card, foil, masking tape, glue and spreaders, crayons of different kinds, hole punches, wool, catalogues, scissors, ribbon, pasta, coloured matchsticks and lolly sticks, scraps of material, cotton wool balls, boxes (junk modelling) - other things as well but can't remember. The idea is that the children can just go and make whatever they want to. The problem is that I think it's a bit boring. Quite a while ago we used to have different "bits and pieces" that could be glued to make things - from the Alchemist - but they have gone down hill and there's nothing much there now, so have not rejoined the scheme (that's another story). the children that use this area make the same old things over and over again - we need some inspiration for different things to put there. I have asked the children to look out for leaves, conkers etc to bring in so they can use them ................ What do you put in this area???? We have another area that we call the "graphics area" that has different paper and card, envelopes, stamps, wooden letters and numbers magnetic letters, small chalkboards and small white boards, clip boards, different crayons and pencils, sharpeners, hole punches, stampers, scissors, stencils, squidgy letters and numbers, etc. They are able to take all of these resources to other areas (we try to make sure they don't take them to the book corner as we have had children drawing in books and on the wall!!!) I have to show them my "very upset" face when this happens!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you have any new ideas I would love to hear them please. Sue J
