A prop box is developed by compiling a collection of related items to enable and encourage imaginative play. To use your prop boxes appropriately, the teacher will introduce each item to the children in a group meeting in which they discuss how the items are related, how the items are to be used, and how to put the items away when their play is over. After you have introduced each themed box, the children can select the theme that they wish to play each day. Here are a few ideas to get you started.
