An introduction to heuristic play for birth to threes with Anni McTavish
Treasure baskets and heuristic play are an important part of birth to three pedagogy. They also influence our work with older children and those with special education needs.
Participants will experience for themselves the differences between conventional toys and a range of open-ended, multi sensory materials.
You will learn how to make your own treasure basket and heuristic play collection – what objects to include, the right ages to introduce them, and how to develop the ideas in your setting.
The key role of the adult will be discussed and how you might share this knowledge with parents and families.
Cost: £60 per person, includes refreshments
Early Bird Offer £45 per person if booked before
