When we enable this type of play, we offer opportunities for our children to be creative! We enhance their imagination, self expression, problem solving opportunities, use of maths language, physical development, creativity, self-esteem and communication skills. Our staff role is to support our children by asking ourselves questions throughout the learning experiences:
Are the children having and following their own ideas? Are they able to take risks? Can they persevere with the task set to work out problems? Are they involved and concentrating on what they hope to achieve?
And most importantly are they having fun!!
Just look at the children's' facial expressions!! Concentration!
This is an easy activity to create and be involved with your child at home!
