A simple material can become a whole world of ideas.
Let The Material Be Open-Ended
Blocks, paper and natural objects can be used in many ways. That flexibility gives children room to decide what something might become, rather than follow one fixed result.
Notice Before You Direct
Watching for a moment can reveal what a child is trying to understand. A simple question about what they notice may open a conversation without taking over the play.
Value The Process
A tower that falls can still be a useful discovery. The interest, experimentation and conversation often matter more than a finished object.
