I love to see them with all their different toys out...animals crammed into toy airplanes, Matchbox cars zooming down train tracks, etc etc. I think it broadens their imagination and stretches their limits - to me, messy = creative (although I am teaching them to sort and clean up once they're done as well!). Your activity shelves in the next post look really neat.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1342470604714385286.post-6336409902097531982011-01-10T10:12:31.881+13:002011-01-10T10:12:31.881+13:00Great reasoning.

Ended up doing <a href="http://www.catchingthemagic.com/2006/08/jouer/" rel="nofollow">Playcentre for a bit</a> and then our local Kindergarten. In the home I try to encourage tidying up after an activity, but am not rigid with this - as sometimes one activity leads creatively onto the next and to stop would break the flow - we just do a couple of big clean-ups throughout the day :)Sarahhttp://www.catchingthemagic.com/noreply@blogger.com
