We have a similar kind of area in our home too, it's such a beautiful thing to give kids the freedom to create whatever they like whenever they like (with a few rules thrown in!). Occasionally we have little disasters like glue on the floor or a Barbie missing some hair (that was today actually haha!) but they learn from it and help to clean up afterwards.

With JJ being only 2.8 years, we've got less selection than you - washable textas, pencils, sharpeners, crayons, chalk, child scissors, masking tape, stickers and a big pile of recycled paper. She knows what our expectations are - she can only colour in, cut etc on paper unless she asks first, and she *mostly* abides by the rules. And I'm gradually adding things as she matures.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03359434044034424315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963870700486099314.post-38937760652394209462013-02-21T21:55:18.532+11:002013-02-21T21:55:18.532+11:00Love this space.

Giving them some responsibility and freedom in this way translates as trust I think. It looks a wonderful area you have created. I think any child would flourish 'working' within it!Hinterland Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16226512918114709078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7963870700486099314.post-29624162335002915942013-02-19T14:08:01.065+11:002013-02-19T14:08:01.065+11:00What a wonderful space to create in.

We use the table for our crafting, so sometimes it isn't available. If this is the case we try to take our creating outside. Love what you have done though!Happy Whimsical Heartshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18288987013248899335noreply@blogger.com
