Playful Learning Spaces: 11 Inspiring Writing Centers
The Playful Learning Spaces eCourse has really taken on a life of its own. I have had the pleasure of working with many extraordinary mothers, teachers, and caregivers from all over the world, creating spaces for the children in our lives. Each session has become its own online haven of support, encouragement, and inspiration for the participants involved.
It is for this reason that I decided to bring all of the participants (past, present, & future) into one password protected, community-centered, Playful Learning Spaces website. This means, when you register for the Playful Learning Spaces eCourse, you become part of an ever-expanding community of creative people who are working towards a common goal. The content for this course is available to you indefinitely, so you can work through the material at your own pace and return to it again and again as the need rises. You will also have the opportunity to meet, interact, support, and learn from all of the other amazing participants.
To that end, I thought it would be nice to share some of the incredible writing spaces that have been created by participants of the Playful Learning Spaces eCourse. I feel honored to have the opportunity to work with such creative and dedicated people.

These are really inspiring – I always thought a writing space would be needed once my children were old enough to be writing properly but I see now that with pre-writing skills, drawing and creating they need a space to call their own for this purpose. Now just got to find somewhere to create it in our own home.
Yes! It is so fun to set up inviting spaces to encourage those early writing skills. It can really set the stage for a love of writing…
This is very inspiring – just what I needed. Thanks for sharing.
You are so welcome! I feel honored to be able to share the work of such amazing women…
These are all great! I just set up a table in our dining room and without realizing it it has the makings of being a writing space for my little ones. Thanks for the inspiration!
Dining room tables make for great writing areas. All you need are some interesting supplies and you can watch the writing/creating take off!

such an inspiring post, I’ve got to get something going for my littles, such a great idea.
Hi Angie – It is so fun to see how children react to these spaces as well as all of the special pieces of writing that start to surface.
I’m so pleased to have stopped in and looked around your wonderful site… I first heard about Playful Learning over at Sew Liberated, and after seeing the writing centres recently, I promptly requested your book from my local library here in New Zealand. So inspiring, and perfect timing – we are moving to a new home in a few weeks and I can’t wait to plan some purposeful spaces for my two small people. Thank you!
