<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A Teddy Bears Picnic. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is one of our first creations that we still have available. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Miss J took each bit out of the box and had a great time setting up the teddies, the picnic blanket, and the pretend food. It was lovely to hear Miss J playing along while we got to work creating some more playscapes.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Miss J also unpacked and engaged with our Australian Literacy experience. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">She set it up with the animals exactly where she wanted them, Then she used the stones and lined them up on the table in the corresponding position to the states according to the map of Australia. Miss J broadened her knowledge of australia, it's animals, the states abbreviations and also added some extra natural materials that were on hand.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> That is why imaginary playscapes are so important for childrens development they learn without even knowing it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> Creating enthusiastic participants in learning sets up a child for life! </span></div>
