Decorating for Christmas is such a fun event. But it only happens once. So for our dramatic play I wanted to create a "Christmas Scene" that they could decorate for Christmas over and over again. It grew over the days and weeks leading up to Christmas. One day I set out things to make Christmas ornaments, other days I set out presents to wrap, other times i had stockings to hang and fill. Everyday they decorated the Christmas tree. Every night I "undecorated" everything, and the next day they got to do it again.
This is so sweet. And this is why you do preschool right. You see from the child's perspective, and make adult things accessible and part of the child's world. You find a way to say yes when other adults would simply say no. Love it.
