  1. WHAT’S A ‘PROP BOX’?

  2. …Why are prop boxes and play important in ECE? It’s important that teachers consciously support children’s play by providing adequate time, space, and interesting materials, like those that can be collected and stored in a prop box.”

  3. “Prop boxes” are groups of dramatic play materials that are organized around specific themes.

  4. What Makes a Good Prop Box? Relevancy! A great prop box…* contains real materials rather than toys, whenever possible.* is inclusive of both genders and culturally sensitive.* has enough materials to support three or more children in sustained play.* offers open-ended literacy materials. (materials, such as play dough, that can be used for multiple purposes.) Just pans and plates are better than plastic food, because children can pretend to cook their own food — whatever their own family eats — rather than be limited by plastic fried eggs.
