Curiousity and Play
Thursday September 26, 2024 9:30am - 10:30am EDT
Children's Museum Rm Creation Station UPPER LEVEL
Our session will focus on the role of environments and materials in playful inquiry. Building on the natural curiosities and propensities of children we will unpack various “intelligent materials” and their curation in creating interesting playscapes, or invitations for play. Highlighting the importance of observation and documentation as a means to supporting children’s play, the session invites adults into the child’s innate drive for play as a way of making meaning in and enjoying their world.
