As far as a playroom goes let me first say I am so jealous, I wish I had fewer house guests and the guest room could be converted! I have a dream that one day my feet will not come in contact with hot wheels late at night.

So yes – I think the main thing would be to have the ability to put toys away, and bring them back out. I find my son and children I have taught play better with fewer options, and the power of novelty is amazing. So when something is “special”they end up using it more , then if they were given totaly free access.

Here are my personal must haves, and this is largely just opinion.

1. Building blocks of some sort. So Duplo, Little People builder sets, classic wooden blocks etc..

2. Dress up / Imaginative play so a kitchen or a tool bench etc… and a box of dress up clothes, shoes , hats… whatever your child likes to use to pretend.

3. Book/ Quiet corner or even a basket – again I would switch books out to keep your children’s interest.

4. Art area – in my dream playroom this would be in a corner where one wall was painted with chalk board paint and the other with magnetized paint , so your child can draw with chalk on one wall and use magnets on the other/ display art work.

An art are can be as simple as a little table with magna doodles, and crayons. Just an are to create!

That’s what I would do in a dream playroom!

Hope that helps !
