Re: Essential Knowledge
OK - so say they are playing outside - for toddlers you would not have small items like shells in the sandpit and you wouldn't have climbing equipment that they could fall off of, but you might put these out for older children.
For inside play, you might have only puzzles with large pieces for the smaller kids, and puzzles with more & smaller pieces for older kids.
For home corner play, you would only have items that a smaller child could not ingest or inhale.
For creative play, the smaller children would not have the smaller items for gluing etc, whereas the older kids could have smaller items to glue on as they would not be at the stage where everything goes in their mouth.
Basically any play scenario you can think up, you can comment on what is suitable for younger and older children.
Hope this helps
