From Screen Time to Play Time: Part 3

Top Tips from Part 3

  • The two most important words we can apply to the toys, materials and activities we choose are OPEN-ENDED
  • Boredom is a key for developing creativity and imagination
  • Child’s interests + free time + space + open-ended materials = PLAY!
  • Child - led play ensures your child is motivated and stays engaged for long periods of time
  • Invitations to play and create are a prompt to capture your child’s interest
  • Loose parts are an amazing addition to your toy collection and are often freely accessible 

Now here's a quick, easy challenge for you!

Hi Anna, 

Firstly, thank you so much for taking the time to set up this free course for all the harried parents out there! I feel so guilty for using the iPad and TV all the time just so I get some peace and quiet! 
Now that I'm armed with your tricks, I know what I can do to try to encourage independent child led play.

Thank you.
