Some of the things needed are stacking blocks, dramatic play area with props, clothing and furniture, dolls that accurately reflect cultural groups, squeeze toys, filling and dumping containers, musical instruments, books, felt boards.
For outdoor environments some of the things needed are places to climb, ride, explore and run. Messy places to fill and dump sensory materials or to gather natural objects. Appropriate surface material.

Some things that you need to include for children are:blocks,music, quit space, table toys and creative art. For outdoor environments you need space for the children to run, jump, and play. Include space where they can learn and explore by gathering objects and playing in nature.

Blocks, music (including music from different cultures), art materials (paper, glue, scissors, pasta, crayons), open ended materials (play dough, clay, cardboard boxes), sensory materials and toys, sensory bins, materials for transferring liquids and solids, materials for dramatic play (costumes and dress-up clothes, including multicultural alternatives), small furniture, table toys/manipulatives (peg puzzles, puzzles for different abilities), woodworking. Additional materials are balls, books, natural objects and several other materials that are age appropriate for the children. It is relevant to notice that play materials, provided for children should be safe, cleanable and non-toxic. Example of activities, dramatic play, sensory activities, practical life activities (cooking, pouring, caring for the environment, arranging flowers and others), activities that encourage the development of fine and gross motor skills.
The outdoor environment should offer a large space for children to safely explore, and develop their gross motor skills (climb, jump run and others). In an outdoor environment a space is needed that has at least 75 square feet per child for the maximum number of children using the outdoor play space at any one time. Additionally, supervision of the space is needed as well as injury protection and prevention.

The types of materials you should have and equipment is a wide variety that will have all children interacting with each other and the environment around them. Outside, you need to have a space of at least 75 square feet per child that you have, in this space there should be nothing that could be potentially hazardous to the children (like chemicals and gardening equipment).

For outdoor play you should have different types and shapes of balls, chalk to draw on the ground, jump ropes, Frisbees. For indoor activities all sorts of board games, puzzles, an area where kids can paint or draw, an area where kids can build things with blocks or lego.

An outdoor environment should firstly be safe with a child's age appropriate activities. A fence or area to block harmful environments such as cars should be in place. The area should have enough area for each child to run climb and explore without fear. Just like indoor environments the child should be able to explore areas such as science, reading or literacy, gross and fine motor, cognitive learning and art.

In an outdoor environment a space is needed that has at least 75 square feet per child for the maximum number of children using the outdoor play space at any one time. Additionally, supervision of the space is needed as well as injury protection and prevention. For outdoor playgrounds, natural spaces are a good idea if possible - a gentle hill for climbing, a pathway for walking and running, messy places to fill and dump sensory materials, or to gather natural objects, with shade and/or protection from the elements provided if at all possible. A space for throwing balls and hoops, running with kites or light fabric, riding small trikes and pulling wagons and other toys is great for coordinating large muscles. For indoor play areas, you should provide a good variety of toys and materials that encourage activity, creativity and imagination - culturally diverse dolls and music, a variety of dress-up items, child-size furniture, and other drama play items like stuff for playing "restaurant", blocks, arts and crafts materials,books, sensory bins, play dough, large cardboard boxes...
