We're not playing. We're making.

"OK everyone. It's time to stop playing."

"We're not playing. We're making."

When we listen to the children we hear the truth.

The truth is that play is important.

It's through play that children make, create, communicate, problem solve, and so much more.

We just need to listen to the children and we hear the truth about play.

Yarn Trap

The yarn was used to make a trap. It was tied to a picture frame and a basket. Each was positioned on shelves across from one another. The children had to go "under" the trap to get to the carpet for whole class time. There was a lot of sharing of ideas, problem solving, and use of the positional language "over" and "under" and "around".
