My guys have a hard time playing in the designated centers. I have a small room and small centers, but only seven kiddos. There's enough room in each center for 3 or 4 friends to play, but I have to constantly remind them to play in the center. If it's cars, they want to drive them all around the room. If theyre doing dramatic play, they usually take up dramatic play, manipulatives and quiet center too. It gets pretty disruptive and messy after a while.

All the boundaries are clearly marked with either a rug or furniture. What else can I do? I was thinking masking tape on the floor?
