About this idea
One tray, one box, one theme at a time. The tray gives a hard edge to work inside, which is what makes it different from playing on the floor, and the box is what makes it repeatable: the same small world can be rebuilt exactly as it was yesterday, and children use that continuity to plan. Change the box's contents with the interest rather than the timetable. Put the tray where a child can stand at it, not where they can kneel.
