The Beauty Shop is Open!

We asked the children to brainstorm ideas of what we could make our dramatic play area become.  The idea of a beauty shop was suggested and immediately we got to work at making this a new imaginative play center in our classroom.  We talked about rules for this center, so don't worry, your child will not be coming home with a new haircut or his/her fingernails painted.

Check out some of our pictures of the fun the children had in making and playing at this new center.  We were especially excited to see literacy at work, as the children made signs and were even writing names in the appointment book!  The language the children is using is also very interesting to hear.  We are often hearing "Hi, do you have an appointment today?", "You can come in and someone will be with you in a moment" and lots of other great phrases!  There have also been lots of great opportunities for cooperative play as the children wait for turns and help each other out as they have fun together.
