Playing Naturally in NC

(Cape Hatteras)

We are in the process of renovating our small, one bedroom home, which will one day have a glorious playroom, with space for exploring!

For now, we have quaint "playareas" set up in our den and also in the family bedroom. The picture is of a few items that we have out in the living area. Due to limited space, we rotate the smaller toys out every few weeks which keeps the kids entertained.

Our newest purchase was the Plan Toys rocking horse, which our 18 month old and 5 year old both love. One of their favorites, that is barely visible in the picture, are forest decals stuck on the window. The kids love playing with the different animals and scenery while looking out at the huge live oak tree in our yard. Also in our living area, we have a small Ikea table set up next to our kitchen table where the kids spend hours crafting, reading, eating, and playing.

Upstairs in our bedroom we have a basket of dress-up items and other stuffed animals which are used almost everyday. So even though our space is small, we find it very inviting and inspiring.

Thanks and happy playing!
