Creating an inviting space where preschoolers will want to play and learn is exactly what will happen when utilizing backdrops in the dramatic play center. Watch as an ordinary corner of the classroom is transformed into a bakery, pumpkin patch, or even an astronaut school with just the addition of a simple vinyl backdrop.

Creating the Perfect Dramatic Play Center with Backdrops

Setting up a dramatic play center may seem like a cumbersome task, but it doesn’t have to be! When thinking about creating a new center, consider the theme – what types of props are needed, how will literacy and math be included, and what supplemental decorations could add to the students’ experience?

Using simple vinyl backdrops is one of the easiest ways to bring a dramatic play center to life. Able to be hung in seconds, folded and stored easily for year after year use, and relatively inexpensive, these dramatic play backdrops will essentially transform the space.
