[quote=Anonymous]I like the setup and the materials but I think your inexperience with group care of toddler and preschool age kids shows.  Cutesy little dolls? Perfect when it's just your child but they will be destroyed and aren't really washable.  The tons of little pieces? That will be a treat to clean up. You don't need a full big basket of shells (that are spiky and will inevitable end up hurting some child) or a cash register of 20+ coins. 2 or 3 shells and maybe 10 coins at most are good. Also realize that the majority of parents are not going to be drawn in by your set up. Also, I can't imagine those wood blocks dropping on your wood floor day in and day out.  The loud sound will upset some kids and your floor will eventually take a beating.  And while I appreciate the aesthetic, I can't say that I think young kids will be immediately draw to the area. It's kind of dark and boring. Natural doesn't mean just brown. Nature has lots of colors.  There is nothing wrong with adding in some colors to attract attention and provide a boundary to the kids play areas.  Color silks for the canopy for example, natural dyed baskets, a comfortable spot to land on the floor - bean bag or equivalent, soft child size furniture, a fuzzy rug.

How come you have no books on any of the shelves? No pictures of kids or other general pictures? Tons of great waldorf inspired art that you can place low on the bookshelves sides and in other areas.  Where will you display things the kids create?
