Tips for supporting Play with toddlers
Room layout - easy to move around
Accessible low level toys
Offer choices
Toddlers need to move around constantly
They engage in solitary and parallel play before they share and take turns
Provide opportunities for active, large muscle play both indoor and out
Climbing with some risk is encouraged
Experimenting with natural materials - sand, water, sticks and wood.
No prescribed artwork - colouring pages
The 'adult' is a very important support to toddlers as they learn
