I set up this unit back in April and there were a few factors that made this particular themed unit work really well.
Firstly, I got these great new shelves that fit under the back of our kitchen bench perfectly. More space for more fun activities!
This unit coincided with school holidays which meant that the activities had to suit all three littles at their various ages (7, 4 & 2).Mainly, we had a lot of our vehicle related toys out for open-ended play. (I'm guessing all of the vehicles and people were being used elsewhere when I took these pics!) Not sure Maria Montessori would approve of all this plastic, though! We have the Fisher Price airport...
Little People Village...
and train...
We also have a big collection of Thomas tracks that make for a very creative play session...
This little train track is a favourite of Rohan's (2). 
It opens up to reveal the track and has train storage.
This unit meant that I could also include more advanced construction kits for my seven year old.
The balloon powered cars were fun for everyone with extra explanations of the science involved for the biggest little.
Books are perfect for all ages too...
We had sight words displayed for our early learner...
We introduced colour into our practical life activities too. This one is using tongs...
This was our second open cockpit day and the boys just love getting to sit in the planes...
They have additional aircraft fly in for the day...
Getting to wear a real pilot's helmet made this dress-up loving little pretty happy...
