DeletePlan and Design: Decide on the size and layout of your toy corner. Consider the age group of your students and their interests when planning the design.
Gather Materials: Collect materials such as sturdy shelves, bins, baskets, rugs, pillows, and curtains to create a cozy and inviting space. Look for items that are durable and easy to clean.
Choose Toys: Select a variety of toys that encourage imaginative play, creativity, and social interaction. Include items like building blocks, dolls, stuffed animals, dress-up clothes, puzzles, and art supplies.

Rotate Toys: Keep the toy corner fresh and exciting by rotating toys regularly. Introduce new items and retire old ones to keep students engaged and interested.
Encourage Play: Encourage students to explore the toy corner during free play times and incorporate it into classroom activities and lessons. Use the toys as tools for learning and development across various subjects.
Monitor and Maintain: Regularly check the toy corner to ensure it remains clean, organized, and safe for students to use. Encourage students to take responsibility for keeping the space tidy and report any issues or concerns.
