Recipe of the week

penguinmum's creamy fish pie: smoky, seasonal fish in a creamy white sauce with grated, rather than mashed, tatties on top - a meal of the highest comfort-food order.

What would you expect to see in an infant room?

(9 Posts)
Lots of mirrors.
Lots of construction type toys, computers, listening station - tape/cd player which takes multiple headphones, role play area - kitchen, workbench etc to be rotated with relevant dressing up etc, sand/water/other tactile play, lots of different craft activities to be rotated, appealing reading corner - books in easy to see shelves, comfy cushions/chairs to sit on
computers as well as what everyone else said.

Kitchen, dressing up, water/sand tray, writing area, easels, farm, interactive white board that is not three feet off the ground.

There is NOTHING of this sort in my 5 year olds classroom in Australia. No learning through play at all. sad
oh yes, we are Our infant rooms here are for newborn to young toddlers.

In THAT case: science kits, board games, books, puzzles, art materials, sensory tables...when I worked in a room with these ages the biggest hit was the karoke machine

Whoops - we may be misunderstanding my use of the word infant here. I mean young school aged children - aged 5, 6 and 7.
CD player for music
Swings, board books, bulletin boards with art, baby sign language cards, soft clean toys, rattles, lots of gentle caregivers!
