Center ideas!

As you can probably tell, the theme for my classroom is going to be "Friendly Forest"! We will have a tree in our classroom, lots of bugs to learn about, owls (of course!), frogs, a pond (water table), lily pads  (carpet squares), a bee hive and many other animals to learn about! My centers will be focused on this theme as well. So far, I've thought about the following centers:

• Home Center: kitchen things, makeup, dress up, grocery, old junk mail etc.
• Building Center: legos, big blocks, cars and trucks, wooden animals etc.
• Reading Center: a tent, bean bag chairs, books on tape, cd player, book baskets etc.
• Manipulative's: popsicle stick puzzles, floor puzzles, lacing cards, counting blocks, folder games, crayons & paper etc.
• Art Center: paper, pencils, crayons, paint, markers etc.
• Letters & Numbers: playdoh, wooden letter blocks, magnetic letters/numbers etc.
• Sensory: more playdoh, rice station, 5 senses board etc.
• Pond: water station

Sorry there's no examples of these right now but look for pictures of my classroom in upcoming weeks!
