Play Equipment & Replacement Parts

Can you help with the benefits of different types of play for children?

I have been asked to design a room for 0-2 year old children. I am then asked ‘ What materials, activities and equipment can be used to promote play and development according to age, needs and abilities.’
I think I should be writing for example ’sand/water – promotes social skills, manipulative etc and is suitable for children aged 1 yr +’

Dramatic play area-play kitchen, table, dress up clothes promote imagination, creativity, social and self help skills.
Library area-quiet area for children to relax and promote early literacy
Active area-with soft mats for low climbing and crawling at different levels to help promote gross motor skills-You can also include the Music Area here with a stereo, plenty of childrens cd’s and instruments to instil appreciation for the arts and expression through music.
Art/messy activity area- with crayons, playdough for fine motor skill development, creativity, and imagination
