Hello. I am hoping to spend tomorrow and teh next few days sorting out the back room, making it as good as it can be for childminding and getting rid of some old toys now we have some new ones from the sale.
The back room isn't huge, just an average room really but the thing that makes it hard to work with is there are 3 doors that come off of that room, all that we need to keep clear as well as a chimley.
The room is used as our dining room, as well as a sort of playroom. The dining room table is folded up though and just comes out when needed.
Was wondering what you all do with your play areas etc. How do you store all your toys efficiently to maximise space but allowing mindees to be able to get to the activities?
I was thinking about having some sort of "creative area" with all the painting, etc. I don't really have much space for other areas though, although was thinking I could sort of have a reading area in the living room, as in just have a couple of boxes of books next to the sofa for quiet time iyswim. Does anybody else have different "areas" or am I thinking with my nursery brain again? I have always worked in nurseries rather than from home so I am a bit bad for thinking like them!
I have 3 of these that I use for toys and activities but thinking I need to make some labels for them, maybe with some photos so the kids can see what is inside? Anybody else done this?
Sorry this is such a long post, been running ideas through my head all day!
