Nursery World - Editor's letter (8)

We hope that Nursery Topics - Bags and boxes will provide readers with the inspiration to plan the richest of projects from the simplest of resources. How many times have we seen a child deriving more pleasure from the cardboard box than the present that came in it. Cardboard boxes - the bigger the better - and bags of any shape, size and description provide a great basis for an early years project. They are cheap and readily available and, of course, they are the perfect open-ended resources, giving children endless opportunity for imaginative and role play. Ruth Thomson
