The Treasure Trove of Play

One man’s junk is another man’s treasure!

This workshop will delve into the progression of children’s play and the powerful impact that tinkering with treasure can have on our youngest and most inexperienced learners. Through the lens of treasure baskets and heuristic play, we will explore how everyday objects can spark curiosity, encourage exploration, and support deep-level learning. Practical activities and planning strategies will be shared to help practitioners tune into children’s motivations and create rich, responsive environments that nurture independent thinking and discovery.
