Post Box

This post box was created while we worked on the Post Office Project.

Just by changing the toy box into a post box; there is so much thinking involved for the child.

First, Shawn decided that we cannot cut a hole on the surface with the transparent plastic side as that is the part which is indoor. Therefore we have to cut a hole on the other surface.



He also discovered that we cannot sealed the whole box as we need to open the box to collect letters.








So are you convinced that project work really keep children busy with lots of thinking?

Cash Register

Give a child a simple home made toy; he/she can really extend on that only toy to a complete set of apparatus for play.

Shawn was given a homemade cash register....






















This is what he has extended.... He can explain what each part is for.

It is so amazing that children can be so details in the arrangement for play.
