Note for facilitators
Resources are stored in clearly labelled boxes at our main venue. Any facilitators are welcome to use them/take things home to prep/spontaneously raid boxes during sessions (e.g. send children out with adult helpers to fetch stuff) - whatever works. Small, consumable items are fine to let the children keep, just let us know so we remove them from this list when they run out or get more! Use your discretion for items that could be dismantled for re-use. The resources are organised in boxes labelled:
  • Animals // Play scenes
  • Books 
  • Fine motor // sorting
  • Flissit Table // Cushions
  • Games // Toys // Tasks
  • Haberdashery 
  • Junk modelling // Craft
  • Lego 
  • Loose parts (natural) // light box // baskets //other fragile items
  • Loose parts // Number Activities
  • Mirror blocks // Coloured rice
  • Sensory 
  • Science 
  • Stationery 
  • Tinkering 
We also have two large Ikea bags; two of which are labelled Tinker Lab and Curiosity Hub for carrying resources and/or storing work in progress for the following week.
