Category: Family Engagement

For the littlest learners, everything is an activity--feeling a rock, trying to lick a bubble, smelling a flower, or poking sand. In this book, teachers and caregivers of infants and toddlers will learn how these simple explorations support cognitive and vocabulary development. The book explains heuristic learning--discovery by trial and error--and how to encourage this type of learning to boost development. Through his explorations, the child is answering some fundamental questions: What is this and what can I do with it? Later, he will add to his knowledge: What else can this do and what can this become? This is cognitive development in action! Age focus: 0-3. Paperback. 80 pages.

Chloe H. ★★★★★

I was nervous about keeping my one-year-old engaged, but this book's focus on everyday objects like rocks and sand is genius. The section on "heuristic learning" gave me simple, concrete ideas that actually work during playtime. It's already helped me see the world through my baby's eyes.

Natalie ★★★★☆

I’d been looking for ways to make playtime more intentional, and this book delivers with clear, simple activity ideas that actually use everyday objects. The section on how to set up a treasure basket is practical and easy to follow, though I wish it included a few more photos for quick reference.

Christopher ★★★★☆

I got this book to help structure playtime for my 18-month-old, and the section on using everyday objects like rocks and flowers for sensory exploration is exactly what I needed. It’s a practical guide, even if some activity ideas feel a bit repetitive after a few chapters.
