Shiny Heuristic Play


Guest

Recommended Posts

I am going to ask staff to create a shiny heuristic play basket for our 3 and 4 year olds to explore. Does anyone have suggestions of what to put in it? :oxD:(

I've seen people use those shiny tin foil things that they wrap round people when they've run the Marathon, to stop hypothermia - you can buy them really cheaply in camping shops or on eBay.

 

I've just found this website which might be useful too...

Hi, do children have access to the play baskets throughout the session, or do you have a specific time for the children to explore the objects? mrsW

We have a shiny basket, a natural basket ( fir cone,wooden spoon,coconut,ball of wisby string,conkers,wooden egg cups,a long tube container made of rope with a bell in it from a pet shop ,cant think what esle, I am at home! )

A colurful basket (squeeze balls,ribbons,chiffon scarves, coloured pet play things ect)

They are well used by the children, on a shelf ,they can get them down when the children want them
