Our shoe shop - items needed please.

We have a new role play area in the classroom. This half term we have set up a shoe shop. This fits in with our new topic ‘Traditional Tales’ and the story we are reading next week ‘The elves and the shoemaker.’ 


Do you have any unwanted items that you could donate to enhance the area?
We could make good use of shoes - any size/ gender/ style, shoe boxes, tape measures and shoe shop leaflets/catalogues. 


As well as being great for language development we are also hoping to practise lots of maths and literacy in this area. We will be comparing shoes by size. Fitting shoes into different size boxes, talking about similarities and differences. We will be measuring our feet. We will be ‘paying’ for our shoes with money, answering the phone, writing down shopping lists, learning to tie laces, reading numbers for different shoe sizes, designing our own shoes.....
