Description

The aim of this module is to increase your key knowledge of rocks, stones and pebbles and help you design children’s play experiences that include these natural substances. Exploring intentionality, the module also outlines ways in which you can enhance your interaction with children.

In this course you will learn to:

  • apply key knowledge to detail how children’s play and learning potential can be enhanced using rocks, stones and pebbles
  • Introduce you to  the concept of Stonework Play (Suskind and Crandall 2017)
  • improve your interaction with children by raising their awareness of the potential of a pebble.
