My centers

The promised picture post :)

This is the train/block center. We set up the track and nailed it all down so they always have a nice set up to play with. In addition, we took out all the other pieces of track and but them in a bucket to the side so they can set up whatever they want on the floor. Additionally, all of our Mega Blocks are stored over there



This is just to the left and across the doorway from the train table. It has all the blocks, magnetix and extra train pieces, as well as the dinosaurs and the army men.



This is left again from the buckets. Two baskets of cars, the big dinosaurs and the bead thing.



This is the library with the 2 chairs. It is sort of a mess right now. Eventually, I will get it all sorted by topic but that is a project for another day.



This is the art center. We have old plastic table clothes on the floor and the walls to keep paint and playdoh from getting everywhere. In the wire rack, we have paint, extra paper, scissors, crayons, markers, colored pencils, playdoh and stamps. At some point, when we have some extra money, I'm going to get some more stamps (stamping sticks which are easier for the kids to hold with out getting their hands in the ink pad) and a set of stencils. Of course, I want the most expensive stencil set I found, but it is a big set.



This is the kitchen, which backs up the art center. On the top shelf is just counter space with the mixer and stuff and the bottom shelf has a container that has all the food and dishes in it.



Next step is to set up a math/science center with discovery bottles, magnifing glasses, file folder games, sorting bears, and unifix cubes. I think I'm going to have to do away with one of my toy boxes though to fit that in.
