Making your Kitchen center something other than a kitchen

We have started our ocean theme and we transformed our little dramatic kitchen area in to an aquarium for our ocean unit.  I placed the fish they made on the ceiling so they could be hanging. 

I also put blue butcher paper to represent the water.  I also put little ocean animals on the paper and even on the blinds.

I also placed ocean books in the basket of books assigned to the dramatic play area.

This helps build vocabulary in a fun way.
