Classroom, Play Activity & Provocation Ideas

Classroom & Learning Area Ideas
Create a reading nook by positioning the Oslo unit to display a variety of books, inviting children to explore stories in a comfortable setting. Use the unit as a room divider to define areas for different activities, such as art or dramatic play, enhancing the learning environment.

Play-Based Activity Ideas
Encourage children to curate their own displays on the shelves, selecting items that represent their interests or experiences, which fosters ownership and engagement. Organise a ‘resource hunt’ where children search for specific items on the shelves, promoting problem-solving and teamwork.

Provocation Ideas
Set up a themed display on the Oslo unit, such as a nature corner with items from outdoor exploration, to spark curiosity and discussion among children. Use the unit to showcase materials related to current projects or interests, inviting children to investigate and ask questions.
