Thanks! I used to not let them take them out of the centers so I wondered if that was the norm. Once my two rambunctious boys left I started this summer letting them and it's been wonderful seeing them use items as other things.

I still have the rule that books stay in the reading center (unless it's a transisition time - nap or circle time where they read on mats) and table toys stay at the table as well as art supplies.
