Seeing the Elephant Inside the Boa Constrictor
Thursday September 26, 2024 2:30pm - 3:30pm EDT
Children's Museum Rm Big Idea UPPER LEVEL
Much like the drawing of the elephant inside the boa constrictor from The Little Prince, play does not always look like much to adults. This workshop on decoding and documenting play will explore the deep and meaningful ways children are developing their cognitive, social/emotional, physical, and language/literacy skills through self-directed play. Participants will practice making observations, documenting growth, and brainstorming what they would like to share about play with parents, teachers, and school administrators.
