(Also known as: Home Corner or Dramatic Play Zone)
Free Downloadable Toolkit
Support storytelling, identity exploration, and collaborative play with our Little Life &
Imagination Hub — a free, intentional resource that celebrates dramatic expression, social learning, and cultural inclusion.
This hub invites children and young people to step into new roles, re-enact everyday routines, and invent their own imaginative narratives. Whether running a shop, hosting a festival, or caring for a baby, children use dramatic play to make sense of their world, practise empathy, and express who they are.
Whether you're looking to enrich your home corner or support identity development through play, this toolkit helps educators create inclusive, responsive role-play spaces while linking directly to EYLF V2.0, MTOP V2.0, and the NQS.
