Wow! These reggio ideas are great! I think they really probe children's thinking and creativity and let allow them to discover and explore their imagination. I especially like the fall harvest station.

To Erika Nickel: the reason why the hundred squares and geometric solids are in the construction area is because I do not follow rigidly the Montessori method but rather incorporate it in our Reggio inspired curriculum and environment. Some of our children are too small to use these types of Montessori materials and rather than leave them on the shelves gathering dust, we place them in the construction area for the children to use at their own will. You will be surprised to see how they soon familiarise themselves with the materials and actually start asking questions about them. Which let us introduce them bit by bit to the right use of the materials at the later date. The construction area is a place when children learn a lot about mathematical concepts without realising it. I understand this may annoy very strict Montessori teachers. But this is not what we are in our setting. As I said we combine loads of different things to make it a better learning environment. We are always careful with small parts when young children are playing around them and they are never left unattended when under a certain age.

I teach 2 year olds and a lot of these items are choke hazards unfortunately.

I see lots of small parts. How does this work with toddlers who put everything in their mouths?

The reggio emilia approach is not all about how the materials look. they do not have to be natural because that is limiting so many possibilities.
