Before setting up a deconstructed role play area for children, clear a large floor space and place various open-ended materials like boxes, fabrics, paper, tubes, crates and cable reels for building. Explain to the children different ways the items could be used, then let them explore and create in their new play space.

1. Before you set up your deconstructed role play area, you need to find a floor space large enough
for your children to play in. Place a range of open ended resources in the space, that the children
can use for various constructions. This includes:
● Boxes - Small, medium and large boxes for the children to use in their creations.
● Fabrics - This is great for building dens and changing the look of the creation.
● Large paper - The children could use this to design a backdrop for their scenario.
● Tubes
● Crates
● Cable reels
Explain to the children that there is more than one way to use this area and demonstrate
how some items could be used. Once the area is established, let the children get to know
their new area.
