Place a basket of wooden blocks on the floor for the children to build structures with, such as pretend castles or barnyards. Make sure the wooden blocks are sanded smooth to prevent splinters.
Set up an art area that will enable the youngsters to explore their creativity. Place a few easels that are child-sized, spill-proof jars of non-toxic paint, large painbrushes and baskets of markers and crayons. Stock a large supply of plain craft paper for the children to use for painting or drawing.
Arrange an area with soft dolls, doll beds or cradles and doll blankets. Doll play, by both girls and boys, encourages compassion and responsibility. Select dolls of nontoxic materials.
