Hi, I have just become qualified to offer the TYE and have been given a grant of £200 to buy resources for my setting. However, i am unsure what to get as i want everything. I have a SEN 2 year old that needs additional help with speech and her physical development so something that's along the sensory line would be good.

So i thought i would start a thread to see what you would get with it? also where is best to have a look?



TIA

I'd have a ball with £200 and spend it on some outside signs (that don't die in the rain), outside toys and games to promote physical development... oh and I have a catalogue with a lovely wooden kitchen set in it I'd buy that too :)

A music wall.

My music wall cost about £5 !! Have had to add more delicate sounds though as My first design had quite a lot of banging - LO design their own by the way they hang the various 'musical' items on the racks and fence - DH is planning to make a jangly with all the Christmas beer bottle tops, just debating if we have to spray paint them - would ofsted approve of beer labels??

Good inspiration here: let the children play: 5 ideas for outdoor music play (http://www.letthechildrenplay.net/2011/05/ideas-for-music-play-outdoors.html)

Still giving my £200 wish list some thought - where did you get this funding?
