Summary:	"Playing is learning. The research is clear: play is a critical part of the learning process for young children. Early childhood educators have the opportunity to deeply and meaningfully scaffold children's learning by curating and organizing the "stuff" children love to play with most. With this book, discover ideas for both familiar and new play materials and how those materials support the cognitive, social and emotional, and physical learning and development of children ages 3 to 5.This practical easy-to-read resource: Presents foundational information organized around the who, why, how, and what of using play materials to support preschoolers' learning and development. Provides suggestions for play materials and describes why they are useful for different aspects related to each learning and development domain. Offers activity ideas as well as examples of questions to ask and comments to make that can extend children's understanding as they engage in play. Includes tips for developmentally appropriate ways to embed technology in children's play. Recommends more than 90 children's books that go hand-in-hand with each learning and development domain. Be inspired to take a look at your early learning setting through fresh eyes and enhance the quality of your program by providing play materials and experiences that nurture the learning, development, and well-being of each preschooler you teach." --Page 4 of cover.
