Answer to Question 2

ANSWER: A vital part of the planning and preparing process for dramatic play activities is the creation of prop boxes. A prop box is a collection of actual items related to the development and enrichment of dramatic play activities focused on a specific theme or lesson plan. These items should be collected for easy accessibility and placed in sturdy boxes that can be stacked for storage (empty cardboard boxes with lids make great prop boxes).
Label each prop box clearly for identification. A picture or drawing on the outside can suggest what is inside. Cover the boxes with colored contact paper to give them an uncluttered and uniform appearance.
The props selected for the dramatic play areas should stimulate interest, encourage creative expression, create opportunities for problem solving, relate to and expand the experiences of the children, and represent many cultures. These props can be found anywhere and everywhere: in the parents and staffs closets and garages at surplus stores, thrift stores, and garage sales; and at local businesses and offices that have used and throwaway items. Invite the children to bring appropriate props from home that represent their interests, hobbies, lifestyles, or current theme.
The outdoor prop box requires children to be responsible for bringing the prop box outside with them each day, returning the props to the box at the end of play, and bringing it back to a designated area. Fill a plastic tub or crate with many different items for the children to take outdoors, items which will encourage exploration outdoors. For example, you might include ping-pong balls, tennis balls, marbles, blocks, books, magnifying glasses, chalk, small buckets to be filled with water, brushes, measuring tape, bubbles, wind socks, and blankets. The outdoor boxes should be different from the indoor prop boxes. This will help keep the children interested and involved.
