Not being flippant......I know it can be difficult to 'free up' a staff member - but there is nothing 'my' children like more Oh and welcome to the forum!

AnonyMouse_73 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 how about an adult. I find that if an adult places themselves there, the children will come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnonyMouse_30128 Posted October 4, 2011 Share Posted October 4, 2011 we have a 'real sofa', canopies for 'personal spaces, big books, story sacks, soft toys and cushions, rug on floor, and a listening area with cd's and player....but have to agree with the others that the best resource is someone to read to them...we 'use' all sorts of people for this because we have a large sofa it is much easier for older members of the community to sit there.

Guest Posted October 5, 2011 Share Posted October 5, 2011 We find an adult in our book corner attracts small friends. . . . We also have teddies, cushions etc and in fact our problem is more to do with keeping them out of there unless they are looking at a book. . . .

Guest Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Hi rainbow34, We also have puppets on a puppet stand in our book corner that the children are always accessing. I have also introduced 'our nursery book' but you could make a reception one where I have printed photographs of all the children doing activities in nursery and sat down with them and written captions underneath. They love looking at photographs of themselves and it is a great book to have on display for parents to have a flick through as well. Hope that helps x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
