| Publisher Description: In this, book, the author explores the use of materials for learning within a social context. Different forms of stuff - blocks bads, climbing frames, dolls and found materials are used to explore the possibilities of materials as tools of all-round development in early childhood. The author presents a range of strategies to help early years practitioners evaluate their provision, as they strive to create environments for early learning which are culturally, developmentally and personally appropriate. The author takes a critical look at the conventional assumptions early years practitioners make about sand, water, paint, and the home area, and encourages practitioners to reflect on their practice. |
