    In the playroom, the kitchen and accessories are always out as well as the library and comfy chairs. I change the books and kitchen accessories often.

    In the big open toy bin, there is always some sort of dress up and dolls. Right now, it's a mixture of dolls, cleaning toys (brooms, dustpans etc) and easter bunny headgear. Next month I am doing "princess/prince" theme so it will be the dresses, heels, purses, crowns (reminds me, I need prince outfits), and different dolls.

    The toy shelf with individual bins always has a mixture of toys. Things like little people and animals, blocks, tools, phones, cameras, soft toys, barbies, cars, stacking cups/rings, infant toys...these all get changed too so there is variation but the "theme" is always the same. (for example, if I take away a camera I put in a different camera. It keeps them interested I find. )Than I have a few special toys that get rotated out like the music table, rocking toys, ride on toys, car mat, tents, tool bench, etc. These are things I only have 1-3 of and they are the "extras" in the room.

    My naproom also has our trampoline, sensory table and traintracks so we will go into that room and play as well for a change of pace. We do our art, water play and playdoh in the kitchen.
    Can I come and play at your house? I miss my big daycare space.....My first daycare space, I'm on number 4, was a huge basement 20x20 and I split it in 2 with an XL play yard. One half was set up with slide and ride ons. It was so good to be able to offer gross activities during crummy weather. I miss that so much, it sounds like you have a great setup.
