Do A Toy Rotation with Me #1 2026
February 5, 2026
New Year, New Toy Rotation
This year we are transitioning to a “big boy” toy rotation set up. I plan to have a wiggles out area, toys area, sensory table with a bin related to our current preschool theme, books, and our kitchen. I am hoping this is a better invitation to play for Aryi. I think it will be better to have out the weekly sensory bin instead of picking through a stack of them.
I set up an area for gross motor play. It is super important for kids to get in movement. Aryi uses his climber basically every day, so this will just stay out.

This week preschool focuses on “all about me” and emotions. I pulled toys related to this to double down on the theme.
Loose parts https://amzn.to/4sMhwtc – We will be making emotional faces out of these this week. They can stay out for other play as well.
Puppet stage with puppets https://lovevery.com/ – These Lovevery puppets have different emotions. This is perfect for acting out emotion.
Storytelling stage https://lovevery.com/ – Pretend play is great for figuring out emotions and interactions.
Routine Cards https://lovevery.com/ – These triple down on order.
Story order cards https://lovevery.com/ – These cards are great for learning the order of a story which is also something that came up in our Knowledge Crate this week. These cards double down on that.
Emotions Mirror https://lovevery.com/ – This toy fits in with our emotion theme.
Color Theory Puzzle https://lovevery.com/ – This toy just came in our latest Lovevery kit.
Bear Paper Doll – I cut this out of a workbook thinking Aryi will probably love it. I don’t know exactly how but, this feels like it fits into the theme.
Weather Board https://lovevery.com/ – This will remain out indefinitely.
Chore Board https://lovevery.com/ – This will remain out indefinitely.
Light Box https://www.kiwico.com/ – Aryi was enjoying this toy a lot last week. I decided to keep it out this week.
Tonie Box https://amzn.to/4bBOIxg – Our new Tonie Box will stay out for screen free entertainment and education.
Kitchen https://lovevery.com/ – Aryi has not been caring about his kitchen lately. It goes in waves. It stays out.
