Flying Start @ Penryn Use Wooden Heuristic Items To Construct!

Flying Start @ Penryn have been exploring wooden heuristic items in the baby room.

These items range from wooden spoons, mug trees, wooden blocks, wooden shapes, wooden egg cups.. and lots more!

The babies explore the items in lots of different ways, finding ways to connect them together, roll them, construct with them and generally experiment with their never ending play opportunities!

Here this little boy was very proud of his own achievement! He said ‘TAADAA!’ when he had completed his building project!

Heuristic play just means open ended play with lots of normal objects, play that your baby can do with no right or wrong way to do it! This is great at home.. try giving them a washing basket or some saucepans and utensils and see how they play! Maybe take a photo or make a note on what they do to show your childs keyworker at nursery – any information on your childs playing at home is very useful to the staff at nursery!
