Some of the KIDSPACE girls including Zoe, Emily, Paige, Isabella and Ataahua, really enjoy playing in huts, and using blankets and pillows etc, in their play. Over two days during this week, we made a hut with blankets outside. The children collected pegs for me to peg the blankets to the side of the fence and create a roof for it. As soon as it was made, Zoe and Isabella went to find blankets, pillows and the dolls matress' for the hut. When Isabella got back, she said she was making a bed for Paige, as Paige was going to be their baby. The girls had a really fun filled morning playing in the hut, reading stories, role-playing and inviting other children in. This play continued after lunch, when the girls initiated going outside to play in their 'house'.
