    Default Catergorising toys???

    Hiya

    I'm sat here trying to make a list of all the toys I have so I can make the most of all of them and get a catalogue for the children to choose from.

    I started putting them in areas construction, small world, role play, craft area and messy play but then got stuck! Surely theres more than this????

    Hellllp lol x

    I have tried (and failed) to do this a few times, I think the problem is some toys can be in more than 1 section/ catagory . Maybe soneone will have a system we can both adopt

    The idea of doing this fills me with dread and I keep putting it off cause I cant work out what the simplest way would be.

    I worry that if I could be accuses of being sexist or discriminatory in some way if I for example put the dressing stuff and multi cultural stuff in one catagory and the cars, air planes and trains together in anotherr It would be a hard enough chore without having to worry about all that PC stuff too.

    I don't know if this is of any help, I have attached a booklet which I have done linking certain toys/activities to eyfs learning areas.

    Thank you for that. I think thats a much better way of doing it then I can just make a picture list of toys I have underneath in each section and it wouldn't matter if they overlapped then IYSWIM.

    Is that continuous provision? or am I completely off track with that one lol

    If I have done this correctly I think I have now attached as a pdf file for those of you that cannot open the word document.

    Thanks for comments I am glad to give something back to this forum as it has helped me greatly over the last couple of years.

    Thankyou for that!
    It must have taken you a while to do!
    I have been putting it off until now (was the last thing on my 'to do' list this week)! I have done my pictures just need to stick them all in a file.
    This is a great help. Thank you.

    thanks, this is brilliant and will really help with ideas for planning. As a newbie this is really helpful information and can only help us all be better at our jobs.

    I was planning on doing something along the lines of a mini picture book with the different toys and activities and what I can use them for relating to EYFS so this will really help me get started.

    thanks again.
