At Everton Nursery School and Family Centre, we noticed our children had a particular interest in taking our indoor role-play resources outside in order to extend their imaginative play. However, we found that resources were being damaged or lost as a result. To tackle the problem, and maintain the quality of our indoor provision, we developed a range of high-quality outdoor role-play boxes in order to develop and enrich children’s interests.
All our staff and children had the opportunity to contribute ideas and provide resources for each box – these were taken from observations of children’s play and their individual Possible Lines of Direction (PLOD) plan. The first set of boxes included resources linked to children’s interests in construction, garages and a car/bike wash.
