The One Thing I Would Buy





 

 

I was thinking recently about the question, “If there was one thing I would buy for my program to increase scores in the Environment Rating System (ERS), what would it be?”

I think my answer would be a good set of diverse play people.

These people would pack a big bang for the buck –

·         they count as “people” accessories for the block play item

·         they count as gender diversity, age diversity, ability diversity and race diversity in materials for the diversity item

·         There are sets appropriate for toddlers, too

You can find these play people in a variety of catalogs, and in a variety of sets.  Try to find ones that have age, gender, ability and race diversity all in one set, if possible.

Many other items in the ERS can be homemade, bought at the dollar store, or thrift shop.  A good set of play people would be worth a little investment.
