Indoor Mark- Making/ Writing Areas

An effective ‘ Indoor  Mark-Making/ Writing Area’ would include many features. This should be:

• Stimulating and inviting and encourage children to explore and experiment – a base for learning throughout the environment
• Made up of quality resources which promote mark-making
• Well-organised so that children can independently access a  range of materials and media and put these away
• Clearly labelled with photos and words
• Set up to include an area for the children to display and share any products
• Resourced with name cards for those children who are ready to use these
• Enhanced on a regular basis according to the children’s  interests, possible themes and on-going observations
• Incorporated into other learning areas wherever possible. For example, role-play and construction.
