1. Select one piece of furniture and one piece of playequipment/toy you would select either for an infant room or atoddler room. Describe your selections and why you chose them. Thenwe can see how the class would collaboratively design an infant ora toddler environment!
2. Many parents don't understand the importance of constructionplay (such as blocks) for young children. In fact, a lot ofpreschool teachers see this area as a constant frustration (socialconflict, messy, etc.) usually because the play area is too smallor there are not enough blocks or other props. So- how might youtell or show parents and other teachers the benefits of this typeof play? What would you say or do?
