In our nursery we always have a home corner which contains a range of continuous provision. This area is often enhanced to inspire children to take their play in new directions, to learn new vocabulary or to apply new skills. One of the enhancements includes a window display with a view that is often changed. It was painted to look like a woodland scene when ‘Goldilocks and the Three Bears’ enhancements were added. Another time, when the children were enjoying the story Aliens Love Underpants, washing and sorting clothes enhancements were added to the house, and through the window children could see pants on a washing line from the illustrations in the book, with all different colours and patterns on them. This prompted the children to talk about the story, to describe the colours and patterns, and choose their favourites.
