We introduced a suitcase to our roleplay area last term when we were focusing on holidays, for the first couple weeks we talked about hot holidays and at circletime we talked about places that were hot and the children helped me pack in the case what we would need to take on a hot holiday, then the children were free to use case in roleplay packing the case themselves, we done the same for cold holidays too. The children really enjoyed using it they had chairs lined up imagining they were on a train, plane etc with their suitcase and provided was a big tub of winter and summer clothes, from woolly hats to suncream bottles, flip flops to snow boots. All good fun!!
I also managed to find a suitcase template and pics of seasonal clothing, so the children also decide what holiday they would like to go on and cut out the weather appropriate clothing and stuck the clothes in the suitcase.
