A Great Place To Read

The reading corner in the Parent-Outreach Play Room has a new fun reading house.
The reading house was made using a small folding craft table extending the legs.
A twin size bed sheet was used to cover the front and the two sides of the table. Fabric is used for the back panel.
Openings for the door and window are trimmed in duck tape, card stock and felt. A window shade was created by using the left over sheet from the door opening.
To give the house a square shape appearance, velco was used to attach the sheet on the sides to the back fabric wall. Colorful pillows of various sizes were purchased at http://www.kaplanco.com/ and made a great addition to the reading house.The pillow cases can be removed easily for cleaning
Props such as a flashlight, sleeping bag and puppets can be added for dramatic play.
