How to Build Your Dramatic Play Area

Note: This video audience is set for 18+ ONLY and not intended for children, but instead as an instructional resource for early childhood educators.
You don't need to have a huge inventory of supplies for your dramatic play area! This is especially important for new teachers to understand. In this video I discuss some basics you can purchase at thrift stores or garage sales that will be great staples for this area.

[@jenniferlovestoscrap03]

Can use bigger clothes too like husbands shirt etc ties etc it's cute to see them try them on

[@Teaching2and3YearOlds]

Yes! I even have vests and blazers leftover from when my boys (now grown) attended weddings. Perfect for dress up! Adult sizes are nice, as you mention, because they are easy to put on.

How many children play in your dramatic play at a time?

[@Teaching2and3YearOlds]

Samantha Tarter - I don’t control how many can be anywhere. Usually they know if an area feels crowded and either they will move on to something else, or they will find a way to fit ins I talk about this in my centers time video, I’d you are interested.
