Description

Developing Play for the Under 3s: The Treasure Basket and Heuristic Play approach offers a unique way to support young children's learning and development. By providing natural, household objects for babies and toddlers to play with, this simple yet effective method promotes concentration, intellectual curiosity and manipulative mastery. The book provides step-by-step guidance on setting up play sessions, as well as resource ideas and activities to help you get started. It also explores the myths and misunderstandings surrounding Heuristic Play, and offers case studies to demonstrate its effectiveness in supporting children aged 2-4 years. With its focus on research evidence and practical application, this book is an invaluable resource for anyone involved in caring for young children. Featuring original interviews with Elinor Goldschmied, the pioneer of Treasure Basket and Heuristic Play, this third edition has been thoroughly updated to include new chapters and insights into the Forest School movement.
