Strand 3: CREATIVITY AND CURIOSITY

The creativity and curiosity strand focuses on supporting children's natural curiosity and creativity as they explore and learn about the world around them. Adults encourage children to develop flexibility and originality as they use materials and activities to investigate their immediate environments.

Standard LLP 3 yr.3.3

With prompting and support, explore a variety of ways to use materials during play and exploration (for example, a block can be used as a phone in dramatic play).

• Imaginary Play - House
  Children will communicate what they intend to do during imaginary play. They can use props and toys as they act out certain situations.  Brainstorm with the child(ren) about different things they may add to the play area for that specific theme. Once they are done playing, they can draw a picture and write to tell what they enjoyed the most.
